    The problem I think is these are drug addicts.

    How do you safely maintain the housing, what do the contractors do when they’re doing meth as the pipes are flooding?

    Its like taking care of violent mentally handicapped adults, or like pitbulls.

      Yes that happens but ratios matter. Apply the 80:20 rule and you find that 80% of incidents are perpetrated by the top 20% of perpetrators.

      Invert that and you find that 80% of incidents are perpetrated by people with a higher aptitude for intervention.

      Than you also need to appreciate that there is an underlying, over arching, and penetrating, theme of “too little too late” in our welfare system.
