Find me a city mayor willing to take a shipload of homeless people from all

another job in the immediate future. This idea is stupid. Not only is it
not cost effective, but from a liability standpoint its financial suicide.


OK, its time to wind this discussion down. But one last tidbit...

Back in the 70's some guy who called himself "Bagwhan Ramesh" or
something to that effect chartered a bunch of busses and sent
them to various cities. He collected homeless people, and only
promised them a meal if they got on the bus. He took all these
people, thousands of them, to a place in the middle of nowhere
called Antelope, Montana. Bagwhan was already famous because
he had over 50 Rolls Royces, all painted in bizarre patterns like
flowers. The locals up there tried to throw this group out.
The responded by getting all the former homeless people to
register to vote. They voted all the natives out of office and
took over the city government. I don't recall what finally
happened. I think they failed to file taxes and the IRS got
them. At any rate, the entire town was forsale at one point.

It can be done. If you build it, they will come.
