Let them out to wander where ever the wind takes them.  Then 3 years later uproot them again.
You gotta treat it like the herp.  It will never go away, you address it when it flares.  It'll probably flare up in Santa Ana river trail again.

There is no solution.

Well it's a damn good thing Altair is gated. Herpes is contagious by direct contact.

Might have to wear gloves and a mask. Jk
 
Have to say the response from Costa Mesa is a bit disingenuous. They already have an enormous homeless/addict count south of Wilson and West of the 55 freeway and aren't very aggressive with that population. When they move on up...to the Eastside, well, that's another story.

The County owned Developmental Center is actually a perfect fit. It's not tent housing. There are plenty of empty beds as well as plenty of pre-existing security. It's surrounded by a golf course for the most part, with commercial to the East. There's already lots of room to stay within the Developmental Center instead of wandering the streets. Access can be restricted so if there are drug issues, they can be dealt with right away.

This is transition housing, nothing more. For those homeless who don't want to return to accepted societal norms that issue needs to be settled no matter if they are forced on Irvine or Costa Mesa. Not clear how to answer that problem outside of incarceration for vagrancy, public intoxication, and violating anti-camping laws.

It a state owned facility.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction. If the State says "no" - which is a real possibility what with the County suing over the Sanctuary State issue - then it's perhaps back to Irvine.

Plan to build housing for homeless veterans, women proposed in Irvine on county-owned land near Irvine Boulevard and Alton Parkway.

Altair and Baker Ranch folks are screwed.

Great park area has so many headwinds. Cemetery, now homeless housing, what next? OH is looking better and better.

Oh you don?t want to help the veterans with housing?

Wait until the vets plus other groups in south county and/or nation wide take issue with that.

announced a proposal to build permanent housing for homeless veterans and women on county-owned land near Irvine Boulevard and Alton Parkway to help alleviate the regional homeless problem.

People are saying this is for veterans and women, not homeless.... right... then how come that sentence says "to help alleviate the regional homeless problem". That's basically implying the veterans and women they're targeting to help are homeless. There's possibility that some of them could be drug users, IV, meth, etc.

and why only veterans and women? What about homeless men?

Wow this is almost adjacent to Portola High.

If the jail didn't slow down GP sales, I'm guessing the proposed shelter won't either.  This does not appear to be a "tent city." 
 
Add the wild card, the judge evenly distributes the homeless.
In addition, to the vet housing.

(who knows)

God Bless America!! :)
