But not here.

That's the only possible answer... "Not here." Move along. Go somewhere else. Where? Don't know, but not here.

Any given neighborhood or city can not solve the problem, but they can solve their problem.

What? You actually believe that wherever the homeless move, the surrounding residents will not be demanding the same of them?

Obviously they can't, or they would not be homeless to begin with. Who would chose to be homeless?

I have heard some people "choose" to be homeless, its rather an economic strategy due to our extremely poor economy and out of control housing costs but I have heard some people will be homeless and rent out their properties until they are paid off because otherwise they could not afford the note.

Hopefully they have 10-15 year notes and not 30 year notes. So its a choice that was forced on them because they dont have the network/skills/whatever to be one of the lucky few to be picked up into an actual GOOD job. In order to get the note in the first place they must have had some kind of a decent job that they got laid off from. Lay offs are inevitable for everyone so alot of people are pre-empting these sorts of strategys to set themselves up as best they can before the ax falls on them.

People that dont have family to live with are opting to live in their car to save money becuase the rent is too high.

HuffingtonPost is not a reliable source of information.

You wouldn't?

1,000 pounds of human feces dumped in your community. Your parks, your walking trails, your green spaces.

You wouldn't demand they move along?

Just add that to your personal list of print media that you deem "not reliable" simply because you don't agree with what the articles say.

Re-read the post. Wherever these tent communities are set up, everyone living around them will demand that the occupants "move along."

No, because HuffingtonPost is historically unreliable.
