There need to be limits set, otherwise they do keep coming and coming and coming, from all over.

Las Vegas is a sort of mecca for the homeless in the Western US. I have a friend who lives there (actual native Las Vegan, former emergency dispatcher, husband was a cop, her children are cops, so she's speaking from real experience, rather than just NIMBY type bitching) who tells me that it's worse than it ever has been.
