If those homeless people are from Staten Island, fine. If not, keep them in the trashy rest of the city where they belong.

That said, thankfully I sold my house at the top of the market before everything goes to hell.

All NYC's homeless should be rounded up and put into a newly constructed shelter on Randall's Island. They can be tasered into submission and thrown into buses. Upon arrival they would be given a shower, access to shaving tools, and hot meals. Then they could sleep in efficiency style dorm rooms.

The violent or clinically insane ones would be separated from the rest and put into asylums.

The junkies would be put on a program of cold turkey. Immediate shut off of all drugs. If they die from withdrawal symptoms too bad so sad. The survivors who want to leave then have to complete a skills class where they learn things like how to cook for themselves, manage a simple budget, and walk down the street without screaming nonsense at pedestrians. Armed guards w/tranquilizer rifles/stun guns and flying drones with cameras would surround the compound to prevent unauthorized exit.

Homeless children would go to orphanages. The same way they do now. Their parents have clearly failed to provide the basic necessities of life for them. The children can visit their parents on weekends and holidays.

I sincerely hope you, nor anyone close to you, ever struggles in life and falls on hard times.

Society no longer has the gumption to deal with problems effectively. So now dealing with wandering threats daily is something we required to do.

That is definitely something I would expect someone to say with a handle like yours.
