This is unreal.
Via the Detroit Free Press:
Advocates for the homeless in a Michigan community have formed a steering committee to look into whether a "wet house" should be opened where people with severe drinking problems can consume alcohol in safety
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports today that supporters of the idea say it will keep some homeless people with alcohol addictions in the northern Lower Peninsula city safe when they are intoxicated and not allowed in shelters.
They say a wet house primarily would be for drinkers with greatly reduced chances of recovery. Alcohol would not be served at the wet house, but the homeless there would be able to drink what they bring in.
Such a house likely would be privately funded, have up to 12 beds and be staffed around the clock.
Let me get this straight. They are going to put up a joint where people can come and bring their own beer and get drunk and then pass out and sleep? I got one thing to say about all that:
CUE THE MUSIC!
Wow….Just….Wow.
