While you are at it, figure out what you are going to do with people
who are homeless or hungry and claim to choose to be this way.  I
know street people who are adament that ``a house ties you down''
and that they want to live as they do.  I have no idea what
proportion of street people hold these beliefs, but it would be
wise to plan for them.
