Here is where the problem is to 'eliminate poverty'....

There is a certain percent of society that has drug, alcohol or mental problems that do NOT want to be 'helped'..

I remember reading many years ago (can't remember enough 'facts'... sorry).... where this city up north had a bunch of liberals who spent a huge amount of money to build homeless shelters because there was such a big need in their city..... so they built them... Well, the homeless did not want to go to them... so they had to go out and bribe them to move into them... but STILL they did not want to stay, so they moved back out....

So, they wasted a lot of money and had a lot of empty housing units...

Never heard what they did with them all... would be interesting to find out more on this since it was so long ago....
