Some Googling and back of the envelope math... an alternative proposal for SF's budget and plan to address perpetual homelessness and drug addiction in the city (outside of the city). Is this crazy?
Right - you're proposing a final solution to a problem by sending undesirables to a camp in a remote location where they have to work for free in harsh conditions for an indeterminate amount of time in order to earn their release. Totally different thing!
