I've long maintained that the solution is to set up camps, out where land is cheap and where there's still bus service into the city (there's a unfinished development south of the main part of San Jose that would be perfect for this; it has sidewalks and all that, just no houses yet) and provide 3 hots and a cot. Provide free junk food (the homeless diet of choice) so McDonald's and Burger King and so on would be on board. The bums' Disability or Social Security would pay for it all. But here's the kicker. FREE DRUGS. Whatever a given zombie's drug of choice is, they get it supplied to them. Their whole reason for being, their daily bottle or rock or needle, is provided and no skimping on the supply. Let 'em get blasted and stay blasted. Because their whole reason to be "alive" is provided in the camp, although they'll be free to leave, 99% of 'em won't want to. Call them Happy Fun Camps.
You'd not be required to take drugs or drink. It would simply be allowed, ad libitum. You'd not be held there; you'd be free to leave, to come and go. It would give the career druggies and alkies a way to live out their lives humanely, crime and squalor would go way down, and those who had the willpower and self-respect to sober up/get clean would at least be off the streets and able to recover and recoup and ready themselves to live like normal people again.
