Navy solves San Diego homeless crisis by retiring four locally moored ships
Decommision Accomplished
Navy solves San Diego homeless crisis by retiring four locally moored ships.
Faced with a tight budget, the United States Navy announced last week that it was retiring four San Diego-based ships: the USS Lake Erie, the USS Germantown, the USS Jackson, and the USS Montgomery. Also faced with a tight budget, the city of San Diego announced last week that it was scuppering plans to provide permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness, partly because it would “only encourage people who struggle to pay rent to give up and take to the streets, confident in our assistance,” said Mayor Todd “Law & Order” Gloria. “It was the way the one announcement came right after the other that made the lights go on for me,” says Navy Head of Recycling Ray Anker. “Those ships still have a lot of life in them. Two aren’t even at the end of their scheduled service periods. They also have a lot of bunks in them. And best of all, they’re self-contained. We park these things about a half mile off shore and send out regular supply craft, and voila — clean sidewalks, housed homeless.”
