"Every Human Being Deserves Better Than to Sleep on The Streets.’’

That is the stated motive and belief of NY Mayor Bloomberg according to the NY Times and, it sure sounds like a worthy goal. As long as the city addresses the root causes of homelessness the city seems to be heading in the right direction. Perhaps his plan could be a model for other US cities.

UPDATE (7/18): Here's another NY Times article with more details. I guess cleaning out homeless encampments is a good thing provided the city follows through on it's plans to provide permanent housing.
