Is this idea completely whack?

Was thinking on the homeless encampments my local news constantly wrings their hands over: what if we gave them an official space to camp on? With bathroom facilities & trash infrastructure? A tent is a lot more affordable than a house or a car.

It wouldn't solve everything, but it would mitigate a lot of material reasons why DIY urban encampments get routed & bulldozed.

This is commonly discussed by local municipalities as an option. Usually the neighbors lose their shit and it becomes politically untenable.
