- jrowley 5y agoExactly. Does bussing help the individual or simply get them out of your way? Sometimes returning people to their support networks in other states can be a solution, but “banishing” doesn’t sound legal or ethical.
- aww_dang 5y agoAccording to the article, some of the people were helped by the busing program. When they were "banished", they had entered a contract not to use homeless services in that locale. If they were not helped, were they any worse off? That question wasn't answered.
