How would a monastery work successfully? We still have the issue that people can't be compelled to stay in residence.

- pstuart 13y agoI think the primary way of compelling people is to make it a nice place to live. A private tiny home for privacy and security, a large garden to work in, a group kitchen, library, rec room, crafts, and of course tv/internet. Most of these people in question are repeat offenders, so they could be offered the choice of a year in jail or 2 years in the country. This wouldn't be free for the taxpayers, but remember, they are already paying a lot. I erred in the other post -- apparently it's ~$100M on homeless services. That's a nice chunk of change for servicing ~7000 homeless people. http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2013/06/04/sf-homeless-services-budget-item-025-percent-larry-ellison%E2%80%99s-net-worth http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2013/06/04/sf-homeless-services... http://www.sfgov3.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4831 http://www.sfgov3.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4...
