[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4014684, member: 14646"] Well, the vast majority of homeless people are either homeless because they made piss poor decisions and got into drugs heavily enough that it affected their ability to make proper decisions, thus being homeless. 2) THey are riddled with mental health issues and affect their ability to make rational decisions. Sure there is a small percentage that really want help and are down on their luck and just need a little boost. Unfortunately those are not the norm. With this, the homeless that refuse any help and jsut want to live on the streets gte picked up and taken to a specialized facility for rehab or to get their mental health in order. No, they don't leave unless "healthy" again or have their chit squared away. Or, the ones that really want help and just a little boost to get back on their feet are taken in to a separate facility for as long as it takes to help them get back on their feet. Counselors and mentors are used for these individuals. This is a 50,000 foot view of how I think it should go but in the end the 1100-1400 homeless in the greater Tulsa area shouldn't have more rights than the tax paying residents of Tulsa. [/QUOTE]
