Maybe u give them a choice: tent or find job or go to drug/mental rehab. ???
I watched a tape of his address and the impression I got was that getting the homeless off the streets was imperative, hence the tent city on the outskirts of the city where the homeless would be taken and housed. But he didn't say what authority allows the government to do that. If a person says they don't want to go and don't want/need rehab help then isn't that their right?
