Low cost housing projects were built for low income folks. What do they do? They wreck the place. A very minute few will take care of their place but the majority wreck their home. All different kinds of groups complained--blacks, native Americans, you name it. But the exception was little people, formerly known as midgets. There were no complaints from them, so it was decided to accommodate them. Little houses were built with light switches down low where they could reach them. The cabinets were all low so that the counters were at a height suited for them. Everything about them was designed for their convienience. Because they had not complained they were not charged rent. They called the homes stay free mini pads. | |||

Sounds like a great (or at least popular) "solution," until we are confronted with the question: Who decides? A bureaucracy? A panel of "independent experts?" An appointed official? A Czar? A Fuhrer? #AktionT4 | |||

We could set some minimum standards for behavior. Take the local guy near me, father to 17 year old son who has repeatedly set up his "home"(a tent) on public right aways, most recently a median in a busy roadway and refuses housing assistance. Repeated contacts with law enforcement, obviously not able to provide his child, refuses housing in the winter. Is letting someone like that continue the downward spiral that they are on preferable to forced treatment? I do not think so. | |||

Again, who decides? In the early 1940s, the government's minimum standard for being involuntarily locked up was to be of Japanese descent. As recently as a year ago, the popular minimum standard for being involuntarily locked up was to be unvaccinated with a experimental, ineffective and evidently unsafe vaccine for what amounts to a re-branded cold/flu. Obviously there is a public safety problem, and obviously something needs to be done - but the solutions are not as easy as they first appear, because governments and people are too willing to use crises as an opportunity to enslave people "for the common good." | |||

We have laws, they should be used to address the crisis. While involuntarily committing people is less than ideal, the current situation is a complete failure. We have not locked up US citizens for refusing to get vaccinated that I am aware of, could you provide a source for that? | |||

I like Walton’s idea. Make a place to put them and then enforce law prohibiting camping on public property and remove them by force if necessary. I am not saying detain them in the camps…just keep them from camping/living on public property. Let them have all the booze and drugs they want. If we are going to remove them from cities…have to have a place to drop them off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

It might be prudent to exempt BLM land from the "camping on public property" regulations... TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

So don't quote me on any of this because as usual I may not have my facts straight, but I think even SF is starting to clear the camps. As I understand it, the municipality is required to have adequate shelter available to house the number of campers they clear out. Sounds good to me. Anchorage AK is clearing camps and the municipality there has permanent shelter available. Still sounds good. In either case it doesn't sound like forced detention, but if you're tent is on the sidewalk, that's where you get shuttled off to for the night. I have the highest value for my neighbor and fellow Americans, I guess I hope that if the homeless find it less inviting to be unsheltered they'll evolve into other. | |||

One way or another, it is going to come down to this at some point, unless as Scott says — we devolve into a Mad Max movie scenario. Quit procrastinating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
