Ask any San Franciscan what the state of California has an excess of and the most likely answer will be homeless people.
Actually, ask just about anyone and the answer will be the same: after all with 130,000 homeless, California is now home to more than a quarter of the nation's homeless population.
Daune Nason, founder of the Folsom-based Citizens Again, released details Thursday of his plans for an estimated $3 billion private city equipped with amenities and services for a 150,000 "High-needs" population, CBS LA reports.
According to a press release, the all-inclusive city which hopes to overtake San Francisco as the mecca of America's homeless, will offer high-density housing in dormitories consisting of sleeping quarters and communal bathrooms with private showers.
As part of his plans for the homeless mecca, Nason also envisions building underground tunnels by which deliveries can be made and city workers can commute to job sites in order to "Minimize disruption of citizen life." And when those living in the city are prepared to leave, they'll be provided with job and life skills training along with counseling and therapy, Nason said although it was unclear if the tree will also be growing Magic Money Trees that fund all these lofty civic goals.
For decades, our government has been building small shelters all across America to house our chronic homeless.
It's time to think differently: instead of building 4,000 more shelters, Citizens Again will build 1 city, catering towards America's entire chronic adult homeless population.
