But, maybe, investing that money into WHY these people are homeless, which a lot of the time is because of drug problems, would be beneficial too. What is leading these people to drugs? Prevention programs and rehabilitation programs so these people get off the streets. That sounds like a good place to start.
P.S. Woooooo! I love living in hippie central! I am an "us" instead of a "them"... yay!

Good point, I'm not a Social Worker myself, and I don't have any idea what the solution could be (Drug addition/Mental lissues/etc). What the original point is, is what causing a riot will do to help their situation. Absolutely
nothing.
