They were separated into three groups. Group A received $1,000 per month for a year. Group B received $6,500 the first month and $500 for the next 11 months. And group C, the control group, received $50 per month....

And ... no surprise ...

I'm going to have to bust out the Adderall and actually read the article? /s

Good stuff. Too bad we have a huge portion of the country who thinks that is Communism and against God.

Unfortunately, that mandatory (??) pull from the article -every- post seems to get ... gave away the suspense ... so I figured that'd do ya ;->

Article notes how much taxpayer money was saved. Where I live they spend millions a year paying cops to take apart the encampments. Cheaper than Helsinki, where giving the homeless a home is mandatory ... and is pretty much wiping out homelessness. Oh, and as I recall, that kind of 'communism' was a big part of Christ's message they've conventiently forgotten.
