Instead of copying that s...... idea of building huts,
why don't we copy something good like San Antonio's "Haven for Hope"

Thank you. It's extremely severe mental illness (there but for the grace of God...), not just people who can't handle stress.

the homeless would be able to have a weapon on them to defend themselves. in the shelters you can't bring anything like that in. the homeless who are street smart and not severely mentally ill do typically protect themselves with something as is their right

huts wouldn't be any more unsafe then sleeping out

it protects them from the elements which is probably the biggest issue

Are you joking?

If a person made money making and/or selling meth, why would they be homeless and on the street.

According to my friend who delivers mail in rural Texas east of Dallas, those folks are living large out in the country. They have more money than the retired military and spooks at E Systems.

Safer?
At least sleeping outside people can see when they are getting beat up or stabbed.

Besides, how they going to make those huts meet code? (electrical, heating, A/C, carbon monoxide, etc)
