I write about them from time to time. They would solve the problem by setting up camps, and having people move from the Sec 8 housing into the camp in return for adopting a regimented life. You'd work at the job assigned, much like the Army; they'd give you part of your pay, and invest part of it so you'd be building wealth and not spending it all; that would be fine, because also Army-style they'd feed you and clothe you as well as housing you in the camp. You'd learn some of the skills you needed to get work on those North Dakota oil fields, and then eventually, you'd get work there -- with a nest egg, new skills, and a physical place near the work.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.com
