Its a bit silly to say crime rates around these camps go up, as they usually are illegal to begin with. Like marijuana, criminalizing otherwise benign things still brings other criminal elements.
Break-ins, assaults, rape, robbery. You know. Benign things. Also shit and needles everywhere.
So the obvious solution is create conditions for rampant desperation, criminalize despair, shove undeserved out of sight. The etymology of “bedlam,” comes to mind.
There are many better solutions than "let them camp".
Obviously; but the only ones being implemented on a wide basis in the US OS that, and what I said.
Those would be the other criminal elements. Drug dealers have had these issues too.
They probably need services too, then.
