locations suffer (the homeless). Judge is attempting to address the issue but failed to (1) if you pick up the thousands of homeless off the ramps, overpasses & underpasses, where are you going to put them all? The number is going to be in the thousands, does the city have that space available? Instead, perhaps the judge can order if needed drug rehab, AA 12 step programs, or good jobs to all of these persons, as well as social workers to ensure that the needs of all of these people are met, at high standards.

What is this judge doing? Running for office or something? This is ridiculous in scope and implementing the legal action, even on a reasonable basis (if there is one) would require far more resources that the city has probably. What happens if a hobo lives underneath an overpass into LA (but is not in LA yet)?

I kind of applaud the effort (or really, a vocal signal being sent that this population needs to be helped somehow, by the judge), but as to being practical in implementing?
