Homeless Sims

[jamn69 5]

Okay, I know we have talked about this topic before, but seriously, how do you get rid of the homeless in your city,

I thought if you had regional buses that would do the trick, but my city that now has 92 homeless sims. only one or two

have gone away so far! So do I demolish all the parks, upset the other sims and just wait or what?

Funny thing is, in one of my cities, park doesn't have homeless but still undesirable because of all the homeless sims around the town. I have 2 regional busses depot up and running that so far haven't been so helpful to solve homeless sims issue. Both industrial and commercial areas are crying for more workers, but still homeless problem is to no avail. Demolishing the park doesn't work; I tried it multiple times by myself.

I think you should have a Crime Prevention Van to visit the Parks because that's what it says on its info. I have one running on my city, but it doesn't seem to stop over on the park itself like it does on the apartments and homes. It does however, scrub off a bit some of its Area of Effect if it happens to stop at any other buildings nearby it.

 

I've been trying to solve the Undesirable problem cuz they're starting to grow all over my city and this is the closest solution I have so far :/

demolish all abandoned and rubble, ensure your entire population has jobs and are in fact making it to said job, even without a bus depo they will eventually leave the city. i believe the bus terminal only speeds up the process (personal experience i have had groups of homeless leave way before ive had a bus terminal). unsure on this but you might need to also keep shoppers happy, since they add happiness when arriving home.

Hi! I just want to share how I managed to remove the homeless in my city. Their were 61 homeless and I managed to reduce it by 1. This remaining, I think is bugged because I couldn't see the person. Just the icon in a house which isn't abandoned. I demolished that house, still it is still there. So I just let it go. Well, first I make sure I don't have rubbles or abandoned buildings, then I removed all my parks and ran it on cheetah mode. I make sure that I bulldoze immediately abandoned buildings. I don't know if this will work with the others, I just noticed mine while I was upgrading my coal energy to nuclear power.  I am on sandbox mode, experimenting on what to do with the a city. Hope this will help. Thanks!

i have had the same problem trying to get rid off all the homeless sims around the city.

One way I figured out was that you need to isolate most of them in one spot and delete the road(s) connecting it to the region.

eventually they disappear.

Not sure if this always works but give it a shot.
