Apparently individuals rights do not include the right to fail.

(An) $11.2 million facility, dubbed 1811 Eastlake, will house 75 "chronic public inebriates (CPIs)," (or "homeless alcoholics" for those less politically correct). For far less than half of any money they earn, these residents will receive housing, meals, and medical treatment. If they earn nothing, they pay nothing.

Sounds like a nice, stable atmosphere to get over alcoholism, doesn't it? Well, it might be, except for the fact that residents can still drink as much as they want. You read that correctly: The alcoholics are under no obligation to even attempt to sober up, no matter how long they choose to stay.

You can come and go, and drink as much as you like? A far cry from the accomodations the government provides if you choose something other than their drug-of-choice.
