Paired with this law would be requirements for local governments to provide and maintain shelter (with said requirements) based on measured need within their locality (not some abstract formula, but based on the measured number of homeless in that area); if they fail, their budgets can be reallocated to fulfill this mandate at the direction of the state and/or federal government.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Result: I can easily imagine new demand for a car with a kind of emergency toilet.</p></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In most cases, this is also known as an RV.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p></div></div></div>
