Imagine if instead of spending a fortune incarcerating people we used it to make it so people didn’t have to resort to this kind of desperation.
I’m sure that we can arrest our way out of homelessness though! We just haven’t tried hard enough.

A simplistic solution is having people live on the streets. That’s what we already do.
I really have no idea why you thought to verbalize that.
