Tell me again why it makes sense to house the homeless in neighborhoods there an average working American cannot afford to live? Young professionals that make 100k+ a year cannot afford to live in green-lake but its a great place for a recovering addict thats down on his or her luck. That makes no sense. The rest of us have to move when we cant afford to live somewhere because we got priced out, why do the homeless have the right to stay?

EDIT:

P.S The right to peacefully assemble does not extend into a right to squat on public property and camp out. If it did occupy would still be camped out in downtown Seattle.
