They will have alcohol supplied , we will supply cigarettes , marijuana and methadone etc . Often the drug problem in the homeless person is because of the cold and because they have lost all hope . When we set up these communities there will be people who want to be clean and they will become site trustees .
Society thinks these people can't work etc but I am confident that even the most hardened drug user could plant a few seeds or feed the chickens even while they are high .
Consider these site in been liking to a rehab camp but also consider they will be working and helping society too .
I'd estimate that at least 75% of the homeless would come good . Yes there will still be some fruit loops on the streets but the majority will love having hope and probably be in tears when we hand them keys to their new home with a bed etc .
And what if the remaining 25% you label "fruitloops" are where the 1300 homeless deaths come from. You have spent all that money and not prevented the very thing that has you so concerned and angry at government inaction.
Your Shangri-La also has a high possibility of enticing folks to drop out of the workforce. They may see the services you provide as more than adequate to meet their needs and wants. Many dream of having their needs met and not having to work for it and to share that care-free lifestyle with other like-minded folks.
I don't think your scheme will work the way you anticipate it should.
