Their data and logic may be broken, but they resist being placed in housing - or just act destructively to any housing they are placed in, perhaps with no clue how to live in a house. This is not currently considered a mental illness that one can be institutionalized for, and there would likely be a significant outcry - not to mention massive abuses, locking up people for being accused of being homeless without much (or any) proof, rather than only on demonstration to a court of willing preference for homelessness - if it were.</div></div></div>
