solving three major social problems in 3 easy steps...

1. Prison overcrowding & too many criminals...

Legalize & federally control all drugs - ala alcohol.

2. Homelessness...

Convert millions of containers now being stacked near the harbor.

3. Gridlock...

Totally free public transit.

Of course, truly solving these problems would mean many specialists and experts - cops, guards, rehab folks, social workers, traffic cops, freeway and traffic engineers would be out of a job...but the savings would more than offset their at negative economic impact.
