When homeless people are apprehended for sleeping on a park bench in the Republican rural areas they are sent to the Liberal cities where there are homeless shelters. And then republicans cry about "homeless people in the cities".
I'm in favor of moving all the homeless shleters and halfway houses out to the suburbs and rural areas. Lets see how that works out.
Republicans believe making laws against homeless people being in public somehow cures them of being homeless. They're stupid that way.
You know, rural areas would probably make more sense, if they're within screaming distance of towns where there would be medical care, etc. The problem with finding room to accomodate the homeless in cities is that all the land/property is spoken for. Why not buy some vacant land from Clem Cornpone in Iowa and put a bunch of trailers on it? Clem could retire, and fifty or so people would have a place to live. Far cheaper than what's done in the cities.
Of course, you'd have to do something about Clem's friends and relatives using the formerly homeless people for target practice. They'd be surrounded by folks who voted for a man who brags about shooting people.
