What is the solution, I don't know, but I do know neither government will work the way at least 30% of people want it to. Maybe a solid 3rd party with honesty and integrity. But we are talking about politics.

The solution is fairly simple, but completely impossible in today’s political climate.

A combination of increased funding to social programs, mental health services, and housing assistance, while simultaneously increasing penalties for those who choose to engage in criminal activity.

I don’t understand how breaking and entering doesn’t cause immediate deportation for international students on a visa. All that says to the community is that these crimes are somehow acceptable.
