So, you are in favor of letting homeless people freeze to death
sleeping under freeway overpasses and in rail yards in the harsh
cold winter climates in the northern lattitudes?

Hmmm... let's see - harsh cold winter climates in the vicinity of ports
capable of supporting a carrier in a non-profit capacity:

West coast - Bremerton and Seattle don't have harsh cold winter climates,
nor do any ports south of there

East coast - Boston - not a likely candidate; small port
NY - maybe, but unlikely due to financials
Phila - See Boston and NY
Ports south - don't have harsh cold winter climates

So you would be proposing to not only house the homeless on this carrier,
but to transport them from their "home" cities to whatever port the
government can suck into hosting it.

BTW, John, have you ever lived on an aircraft carrier? Further responses
on my part depend on your answer.
