Assuming the homeless aren't permitted to shack up on public property (a terrible policy for both the homeless and for everyone else), and assuming there aren't enough charitably-minded private property owners to take them all in, there's literally no place where they can legally exist. Ejecting them from a place where they're trespassing only guarantees that they'll end up trespassing in some other place. So what's to be done? I don't have a definite opinion, but I think some form of institutionalization may be justifiable, as this may be both more humane for the homeless and less costly for the rest of society.
