text: I'm all for criminalizing the problem and putting them all in low security "country club" privatized facilities out in E WA, Nebraska, or New Mexico. My surmise is a huge number of the "homeless" choose the lifestyle and, given a choice between making a change in their own circumstance vs. going under authoritarian lockdown VOILA we would have better citizens. I grant you there is a statistically significant percentage of that "homeless" population that needs the benefit of gov't provided social service.My opinion (worth exactly what you paid for it) is those truly in need are 10-15% of the existing "homeless" populace.
