'HOMELESSNESS'
I was watching a YouTube video featuring Ellen Lee Zhou (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmJGwZZBfug). She is a declared candidate in the upcoming race for San Francisco mayor. She made the statement that the current mayor, London Breed, wants to create 'clean spaces' so drug addicts can inject themselves in a sterile, safe environment. I was aghast at the misplaced empathy, but I have come to develop a further idea, one that I present as a social solution of a problem causing extreme hardship in America, and West Coast cities in particular.
Any musician not affiliated with The Eagles of Los Angeles, CA should be banned from attempting another lame version of the song Hotel California. Recently, while in the audience of another insufferable rendition, listening to the demonic, horror film lyrics backed by out of tune sloppy, guitar work, they gamely got the the part of the song that says, "You can check in, but you can never leave." That got me to thinking...
Whether it's you or society as a whole, a problem can never be solved unless it is properly named. I, for example, don't use the description of those unsheltered residents by the river as 'homeless'. I prefer 'drug addicts'. If I meet a 'homeless' person, I ask them, "Why are you hanging around with drug addicts?"
Suppose Mayor Breed opens a Hotel. Any drug addict can find shelter, if and only if, they supply their vital information, their nearest kins' address and phone and if they designate where to send or what to do with their remains. While at the Hotel, they are provided all the Meth, crack cocaine, opioid of choice - unlimited and free. There will be no hand holding social workers or police or paramedics on site. All you want, for as long as you want, until you are dead. You will not be returning to a public space.
I can't see any abortion supporter being put-out by such a suggestion. Please, do not use the sanctity of human life argument. These people with their own free will come through the entrance. That can't be said of an aborted fetus, no matter what stage of embryonic life. We are simply giving the drug addict what they want. Stay and enjoy - leave horizontal and cold.
This could work.
