You don't need a hotel room for PAX, just get drunk & pretend that you are homeless.

I would like to thank Fark for bringing this to my attention.

Residents are selected by social-service providers who agree on a list of the worst alcoholics. Once in, they can stay for the rest of their lives as long as they follow a few rules focusing mostly on avoiding violence.

On a recent visit to the building, a big sunny dining room was half-full of residents in various stages of intoxication. The air smelled slightly of alcohol, but there were no cans or bottles around.

Residents usually drink in their small studio apartments. Some have smaller cubicles with three walls and just enough room for a bed, a freestanding closet and a chair.

That's a waste of tax money.

This really has no relation or applications to PAX as it's limited to their list of the worst alcoholics, and not just random drunk people. This thread is more suited towards a different subforum.
