The administration of a large American city has found an original way to combat the dominance of homeless people.

The San Francisco City Hall has ordered the issuing of fines and issuing one-way tickets to homeless people for flights out of the city.

The city, which is located in the state of California, has become popular among the homeless.

The favorable climate and the lenient policies of local authorities have made San Francisco a favorite place for vagrants, writes The New York Times .

But the patience of the city administration has run out. They have declared war on the homeless who have filled the streets.

City residents were prohibited from sitting or lying on the sidewalk or setting up tents in pedestrian areas.

For violations they will fine and “ask” you to leave the city with a free bus ticket.

San Francisco authorities have stepped up their efforts after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an order requiring officials to clear the streets of the state's cities of homeless camps.
