Wavey, do you *ever* read anything I post and actually absorb it? You keep doing the same thing on almost every reply. Read my post again and digest it before speaking again, please. Nowhere in either post did I postulate that - every - homeless person anywhere in Alaska in any town, on any street, is a person who has been 'banned' from any village, town, state, or country. Let's try following along here... the comment was made that 'many', note the word, it is not inclusive of 'all' - 'many' of the banished end up here. I do admit I should have included Fairbanks, in case you live there and feel slighted I didn't include you. Nor did I state that 'all homeless' come from villages or were banned. And likely there has never been such a study.  I do note, however, like many of your posts, you like to pick a tiny piece of it to comment on, but won't touch the greater truths in it, such as how nasty the local homeless camps can get.

By the way, RAID is an effective hornet-cleanser.
