"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.

Ironically, 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.

It's a cautionary tale, not something to be emulated.
