On: Seattle has stopped charging people for personal drug possession

Sorry, where did I say that? I'm talking about not creating incentives for homeless to concentrate in one city.

I'm pretty sure it's better for society overall for the homeless population to be widely distributed than concentrated in one place.

That's different than putting homeless on busses to another city.

Okay, so it's "run them out of town" instead, but the effect is the same: you're just passing the problem off to someone else, to dehumanizing effect for the person.

If enforcing property rights and laws that protect public health and safety is "dehumanizing" then I don't know what to tell you.
