Homeless situation....

oh I've ready many articles on the subject as i am forced to drive and walk back numerous homeless camps to and from work every day. You think these are poor people who never did anything wong that are just down on their luck and need a helping compassionate hand, nothing could be further from the truth.

I never said that though. I'm not absolving the decisions that led them to the situation they're in, well, for the most part. Homeless people are as much of a monolith as any other cross section of a population. And the work farm idea isn't terrible, except I'm not sure how to get enough homeless folks onboard with the idea short of forced busing, and I think we can all appreciate the negative connotations contained therein.

They have issues. They have real issues that led them there. How best to treat those issues consistently to the hopeful lessening of the actual homelessness problem and an eventual savings to the government is where I think we'd all like this to go. And I just think that the program working in the article I posted would be worth a shot at getting there.
