Kirk's Humane Solution to the Homeless Problem

1/12/22: Modified from my 10/23/21 notes of a post I probably made on Facebook: 

Homeless Solution: Take care of addicts humanly but don't ruin society doing it by continuing to enable bad behavior. 

Build hospital ships where drug and alcohol use is FREE and legal for anyone caught doing it illegally on the streets.  

1,000 Bed Hospital ship USNS Comfort

They can stay on the ships in small rooms and do all the drugs they want and get meals and care for free while having people in their ears suggesting there is a better life.  

Healthy and confined is far better than living in their own feces on the streets. 

When they get healthy on the ships (with proper medication for mental health issues) they may decide being intoxicated and confined is not a good life compared to being free.  

Require those convicted of being intoxicated in public too many times to stay there until they are sober for a six months.  

Fill the hospital ships with workers who want to learn on the job how to care for others as well as recovering addicts to help those who are not sober learn to be sober.  

Eventually you will have people trained to care for our aging population.  Don't let any addicts off the ships into society until they have many months of sobriety and an agreement to take their prescribed medications for mental health issues plus have jobs waiting for them.  

If they can't find a job directly from the ship, have transitional dorm housing where they are paid by the state to care for others in society...  

 STOP ENABLING BAD BEHAVIOR to continue.
