Housing homeless in huts a bad idea

OMG, the letter about housing the homeless in huts — 32 men in each and another hut as mess hall — to you, it may have worked in the military, but when I read your letter, I thought 'would you like the homeless to wear striped pajamas?'

Dear editor,

OMG, the letter about housing the homeless in huts — 32 men in each and another hut as mess hall — to you, it may have worked in the military, but when I read your letter, I thought 'would you like the homeless to wear striped pajamas?'

It reeked of concentration/internment camps for homeless.

I was totally embarrassed that someone in 2011 would want to bring back the shame of internment camps to B.C. again to control the homeless problem.
