I live in a small western town and there is a local discusion on what to do with our local homeless man.
He lives in a wooded area at the moment but in the winter months he has spent his time in a local hotel but they are no longer going to take him in due to his poor hygene and living habbits. They are talking about putting him in a trailer for the winter but my thing is that The only problem with this is that he has managed to burn down the last three structures he has lived in so he is just more then likely going to burn down this one also. And every time he starts a fire he endangers not only his own life but the lives of the firefighters that respond to the fire.
I myself feel that he should be placed in a care home were there are some rules and he can be cleaned up and kept straight from booze. But there are people here who think that he is still capable of living on his own and think he should be able to make his own choices.
I am curious as to what people here think that should be done with him. Other then have him play in traffic which has crossed my mind.
