We should end homelessness in America

[AHunter3]

Most cities have homeless shelters, and if a person is sleeping under a cardboard box, it’s most likely because that’s their preference (over a homeless shelter).

I’ve been in a homeless shelter. A cardboard box has a lot to recommend it over a homeless shelter, and preferring it doesnt mean your head isn’t working properly. It’s not an illogical choice.

I think it would not be too difficult to herd up most of the homeless people and either put them in mental institutions or group homes, etc. My guess is all those beautiful, homeless-free countries being referred to, do that. Thing is you’re doing that by force and essentially imprisoning them.

I think it would also not be all that damn difficult to herd up most of the bigoted hateful opinionated people who advocate things like that and put such folks in a locked environment. Wanna hold a referendum on which approach will beautify America the most?

People, you really don’t want it to be particularly easy to lock people up. You want there to be due process and there should be a high bar to overcome before it is established that yes, this specific person should indeed be locked up.
