The american prison system is a sorry mess but giving them game consoles isn't going to solve anything.

I had to once as a field trip and it was awful, but that's because it was leaky as fuck and I thought the kid above me wet the bed.

If only the homeless problem could be solved by finding a physical location to house them in. Its much more complicated than that.

Are we talking about homeless like a single mother of two who fell behind on her payments and got evicted? Or are we talking homeless like that mentally ill drug addict down the street who talks to himself and shits on the sidewalk and has put zero effort into ever improving his situation?

Pretty sure a huge ship in a port isn't going to be rocking that much regardless.

It would have to be for the people in the first example, and in order to make it even remotely safe for them there would have to be oversight to a degree that would guarantee that the second type, and most others, wouldnt take advantage of it.

At the end of the day, I say do it, but dont expect it to make a noticeable effect on the homeless
problem.

They'll just have security at the entrance and then be confused when no one wants on the ship after a week

Yes.

It really is, as long as the seas aren't so rough that you're tossed a few inches into the air over and over.

Giving the homeless one-way tickets to Hawaii is already a thing that's already happening.

I have no sympathy for homeless who are drug addicts. They can ship them to point Nemo with no food or water for all I care. There is difference between falling on hard times and being an addict with no self awareness

Problem is, liberal leaders in NYC share this dudes view, but dont want to be seen doing the deed.
