I bet it's cheaper to house these people indefinitely than it is to imprison or institutionalize them indefinitely.

    I think that's true, but we continually try housing them in residential neighborhoods, and that does not go down well.
    If ya ship them all to a facility outside town where they won't bother anyone, well that looks like some sort of concentration camp, and its probly gonna turn into one for real.
    Housing them is an interesting series of challenges that we have not really faced yet.
