"What are you in for?"
"Couldn't find work."
There seems to be a proclivity in the states to solve social issues by diving headfirst into a dystopian nightmare, instead of learning from somewhere else.
That aside, jails are more expensive than simple housing. Just house them regardless. It's way cheaper.

- ceeplusplus 4y agoIronically, another commenter has pointed out that the USSR did not tolerate this kind of behavior (and neither does China). I suppose in that case having the "socialist commies take over", as you put it, would be an improvement over the status quo when it comes to homelessness.
