> [Trump's] campaign has promised to “end the nightmare” of the “dangerously deranged” with a plan to “open large parcels of inexpensive land, bring in doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab specialists, and create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified”.
Good luck with that. If we can get physical and mental health care, I'll give up my housing because I can't get both as a housed person without 100 hoops. Except it might not be the best and brightest that he attracts.

It's gonna put a dent in his plans to balance the budget, but it would be in an excellent cause. If you're gonna spend all that money, we can do better than tents. So I can't help but suspect that those "large parcels of inexpensive land" are far away from civilization (and the attendant jobs, grocery stores, cultural programs, communities, etc.), impossible to leave, and suspiciously short on doctors and psychiatrists.
