Part of the problem is the politics get in the way of the solution, there are a couple of things that are needed, a large psyche unit far enough out of town to make leaving a pain, a humane effective replacement for Riverview basically somewhere way up the valley that is equipped to keep patients for months even years.
Laws to limit the homeless to one tent and sod all else, endless washing of the streets to keep people moving during the day, the idea that allowing the DTES to thrive is humane needs to be thrown out, the DTES sucks the mildly addicted in, gets them ramped up onto opioids and kills them, it is an abattoir for the damaged and needs to be seen as such by the left, the 'caring' side of the argument needs to realize the DTES itself is killing people and the only solution is to minimize the numbers by almost any means
