I live in a town that has offered a novel answer to the riddle of human refuse.

Low income families. The homeless. The head-injured. Recently released prisoners and their families. The impoverished elderly. My town has arranged itself to serve that population.

Or more specifically, my town receives money from the state for providing these services. It's our #1 industry. All the other towns bring their "problem people" here.

It's probably the most efficient approach (within legality). We've concentrated them all in one place. (It's gotten kind of dangerous and filthy.)

It used to be a nice college town.

The decision makers never live with these decisions. Sound the bell and you're a white nationalist transphobe.
