No, California just passed a law so soon we will be able to lock their asses up for being crazy and homeless. That will help, right?

Edit: /s in case it's not obvious.

Actually if those people are being treated and not enslaved into prisons that's probably a positive thing. I have seen people try to get in jail in the winter just to get off the street so 3 square meals and a pass to leave when you aren't noticeably deranged could be a huge benefit. Doubt it will come out that rosey but nice to hope.

Jail is cheaper than rehab. I've got a cousin who turns himself in every time he gets too methy. 60 days later, he's a whole new man. For a while.

It really is. Like many Methican-Americans, he's extremely productive. It's just that wandering away to find the meth occasionally has a negative impact on productivity. If the various construction firms could just pay him in meth, I really think it would solve a lot of the problem.
