Reply to comment by glopmod in Two-thirds of McPherson Square homeless remain on street, D.C. says by SnortingCoffee

No.

This is not "ignoring the problem" or fixing homeless. They are a dozen vagrants removed from a central park.

We have neither added to or subtracted from the homeless population. They are where they would have been anyway, today.

Correct. If they leave this park, they go to a different place in the city. Very good. Your insistence that this park be clean for you does not resolve it.

Well the park is clean now, so while you work on that other business, my issue is in fact resolved.

And a different park is not. In a year, they will come back to this park when the current dirty park is cleaned.

If your issue is resolved, you lack object permanence.
