It's not feasible to vote people off the island really, considering they would be citizens and have nowhere else to go. I guess the first immigrants could be deported. Ideally the family unit would be strengthened in this nation, so that people with behavioral/addiction/mental/physical issues have people and communities who care to help them.

My craziest idea would be compulsory IUDs for girls of reproductive age. They could remove it at any time, but the default is to have birth control. If this is too extreme, at least it would be provided for free. The $100 cost (just a WAG) is nothing compared to the consequences of children in unstable families or single parent situations.

Did you visit SF? It sure is a bleep-hole city. My last visit I stepped over a man sleeping perpendicular on the sidewalk, with his trousers down to his knees, with everything hanging out. There are trashnatos (trash swirling around in wind vortexes caused by the buildings) and feces everywhere. This is mere blocks from City Hall. I'm sure Portland is headed towards a similar future.

Enabling is not helping, and it is not kind (though I do not question the good intentions of those who tend towards enabling).
