Hey, if it works for them, it works for me

Sonoma County moves homeless encampment from a public park to a courthouse parking lot.

Half the country’s homeless already live in California, and if the citizens of the Golden State want to lure the other half to the land of sunshine and compassion, good on them.

Here’s a sobering observation about these poor, crazy people: they have to be house broken, and that’s proving an impossible task.

"About 80 persons, who were some of our most chronically homeless individuals, now are sheltered with comprehensive services provided to them," a county spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "The public-use trail where almost all of the emergency shelter site residents once resided is now clear and reopened for bikes, walkers, runners, and other recreation."

When asked if the county is seeing success with the program in light of the one "successful exit," the spokesperson said that "many of the folks from the trail are folks who have been unable to find housing for several years."

"They each need individual solutions to be ready to be housed and stay housed, even if/when a housing unit is found for them," the spokesperson said. "It could be a combination of behavioral health care, substance-use disorder care, ways to increase a person’s income and securing needed documents – ID cards, SS cards, etc. These are the types of services being provided now to the folks residing at the emergency shelter site."

(Pro tip: it’s not a lack of a government id card that’s keeping these people on the streets (or parking lots — ED)
