Interesting that knocking down the (black) shanty towns is cause for outrage, while nationalizing the property of (white) farmers barely causes folks to turn a hair.

Thinking that ticketing the homeless is going to solve anything is more useless than pissing on a raging forest fire. A lot of the shelter beds go empty ... so do a lot of more permanent placements. There are a lot of what are called "intractable homeless" ... that means they want to stay living on the street, and don't want to or can't remain compliant with the often minimal requirements of these programs.
