Yeah. Housing’s the easy part in much of these situations. There are shelters and tiny house programs and jobs programs going empty here because people don’t want to follow the rules. And the rules aren’t super strict rules like, “gotta go to church, be christian, don’t say a bad word ever, and be saintly”, they’re rules like “you can’t actively have drug paraphanlia or be doing drugs here. You can’t openly be having sex here. You can’t rape people here. You can’t come in after 2 AM. And if you have those problems, we’ll still help you, but you have to actively be working on them through one of our myriad number of programs.”
Many people do well and get helped by these programs, and many people do not want to give up the things, or are so addicted that they CAN’T give up the things, and you can’t just kidnap otherwise law abiding people and force them into medical treatments.
