IMO, I think that is actually a good idea. Places like LA already have implemented tax increases to "solve" the homeless problems (most of the money right now is just being scammed off by special interest groups - go figure). Building a facility in the desert is a good idea actually. Just use methods that were developed by the military for housing troops in the desert. Start with military tents and expand until enough beds are created. After that you can build facilities.
It wouldn't be a prison if the homeless could voluntarily leave. Most will just stay there though because free housing, free food and so on. I would rather have my tax money going to this instead of some stupid war overseas.
"let's put them in a giant facility in the desert that provides health services, food, and transportation"
Why does this sound like a prison?
