The Virginian-Pilot reports that Virginia Beach is the first city in Virginia that's considering a tent city for homeless individuals. Coeur d'Alene Councilman Mike Kennedy, who posted the link on his Facebook wall, had this comment about a tent city for homeless: "Homelessness is a national problem. It is not because there are service providers providing service, it is not going to be solved by 'giving someone a bus ticket.' That's a short-sighted and uninformed approach, albeit one that's often suggested. I don't agree with a 'tent city' as it's not a solution to the problem. But for those who criticize us for trying to work the issue, the cost of ignoring it is higher."

Question: Would you support construction of a tent city for homeless in Kootenai County?
