"Homelessness in Anchorage is solvable, and we are uniquely poised to do it now". Really? Ms. Brown, you do know that many people who are homeless, choose that path? Are we now going to set up internment camps around the city so we can forced the homeless into homes? We need a hospital, not homes for these people!!! Those who make up  Anchorage's hard core homeless population are mostly drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill, ex-convicts, chronically lazy and people who just love the freedom of being homeless. Honolulu and many other cities have already realized that when you enabled the homeless, you create more, not less. Anchorage is lucky that our homeless problem is no where near many of the cities south of us. People who become homeless by bad chance or events, usually get themselves off the streets as quick as they can. There are programs to help these people. This article got a lot of platitudes, meaningless gestures and hopeful thinking.
