    I have no idea. I’m not suggesting people often become homeless because of ideological reasons, however many do opt out of the rat race and choose not to work and participate economically, which is functionally equivalent.

      there is a difference between opting out of the rat race and screaming obscenities at people, defecating on the street, while strewing garbage everywhere.

        I believe one need not exhibit such behaviors to be involuntarily committed under this law.
