Who gives a shit? Anyone against this probably does have a mental health issue.
If they want to be left alone, don't fucking camp out and beg for shit from us "normal" people, then be surprised when we tell them to fuck off and go away.
You want to be homeless? Get out of the urban living and working areas -- you know, the places where everyone who DOES NOT want to be homeless has to be every day.

If they were camping out and begging in places where it was illegal then they would be arrested already.
So you are basically saying they should be targeted for taking advantage of what is legal.
You want to retroactively charge them with crimes that don't exist in order to control them.
Leaving the urban area :
You make it sound as though every homeless person came from some other town and can go back there.
If someone grew up in LA and became homeless then they are not going to walk, and I do mean walk, blindly out into the dessert trying to find some acceptable place.
Also, mentally ill people who are not a danger to the public or themselves have rights.
It's their right not to live in a shelter.
Some homeless people think the shelter is the most dangerous place to sleep, and it can be.
Hardened criminals leave prison and go straight to the shelter to satisfy their parole requirements of place to live.
