1. The homeless are getting the wrong message in other major cities in the US, that Eugene is some kind of Mecca! How do we get that to stop?
2. There is a major overlap in the percentage of people who have failed at their reintegration from the jails locally who are now on our streets(they were moved here from other areas). We only have our own efforts to gain extra income by allowing such a high population of inmates to be released with probation/parole requirements locally.
3. Other major cities with major homeless overpopulation such as Los Angeles are giving out free bus tickets to ....Eugene if so requested. That basically cannot be stopped.
