What should we do about this persistent problem? I suggest we build a "resort" for the homeless. Someplace not close to a residential area. At this resort we'll have medical care, a post office, internet, showers, laundromat, lockers, everything a homeless person might need. No force, no coercion, no badgering them with goofy religion. They will come to the resort and stay in the comfortable yet simple facilities because we will provide free alcohol. All you can drink. Nobody will bug you. Just drink and be yourself. Most of these people have homes. But for one reason or another they've abandoned those homes to live the drinking lifestyle. By providing free booze we'll get them all in one place. Docs can check for TB, pneumonia, other illnesses. This will be cheaper, more humane, and it will work. Those homeless who are not drinkers are a separate problem. With them isolated out of the drinking population they'll be easier to identify and help.
