Homeless migration to RVs creating problems
There seems to be a trend for the homeless to get an old RV and live on the streets. County officials admit their hands are are tied as they do not have proper laws in place to deal with the problem....

Surprisingly, I haven't deleted any posts. It's been pretty civil. Let's not ruin it.
IMHO, we have been told "Don't discuss politics in polite society" for so long we have come to the conclusion politics can't be discussed politely. I think in a democracy children should study and practice politics instead of football.

Since we are trying to come up with solutions, here is mine:
Based on the assumption that the vast majority of these "homeless" people are mentally ill or addicted, I propose that we re-institute involuntary commitment for these people in humanely run institutions (not jails), until their underlying conditions are addressed.
As to this; In both homelessness and gun violence many say the problem is based in mental health. But when a very small step toward trying to solve the problem a large percentage of the population, and their representatives, went absolutely hair on fire batsnot crazy to get the law repealed.
Let's not forget the wide spread availability of food stamps and other forms of welfare payments which are available.
Ever talk to anybody about the requirements are to qualify?
