Trump Calls for Moving Homeless Out of Cities to Camps in Tough-on-Crime Speech

Former President Donald Trump outlined a policy proposal to combat surging levels of homelessness in American cities in a Tuesday speech.
Trump delivered an address to the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump nonprofit based in Washington, in which he discussed increases in crime under the administration of his successor, President Joe Biden.
The 45th president shared his specific policy for the homelessness epidemic. Trump called to centralize the homeless in areas outside of major cities where inexpensive land is available.
Trump on addressing homelessness in big cities: “Open up large parcels of inexpensive land in the outer reaches of the cities. Bring medical professionals […] Build permanent bathrooms. […] Create thousands and thousands of high quality tents.”
Please stop referring to Bums and Winos ad "Homeless".
In June, city officials and departments developed a list of 42 potential sites that could be equipped with spaces for tents and mobile bathrooms. The urban campers, most with addiction and mental health issues, would be provided with free delivered meals and other services. Several sites were erected, including one outside City Hall and one in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Among the other proposed locations: 25 public elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as a Boys and Girls Club, city parks, and recreation areas.
Could San Francisco really turn school grounds and other public spaces into dozens of city-sanctioned homeless encampments? The prospect sounds inconceivable, but the ball began rolling last week, when Supervisor Rafael Mandelman introduced “A Place For All,” legislation that would establish Safe Sleeping Sites around the city. The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Services (HSH) would create the sites and figure out the funding. Although touted as a temporary measure, they would remain for two years, then reevaluated annually. The long “temporary” timeframe can be explained by the failure of a site that had already been attempted at Everett Middle School. The intended occupants wanted a more permanent place to stay, so passed on the offer.
