Yeah...I've always found it odd how internet dwellers seem to completely ignore the mentall illness and drug issues that cause and exacerbate much of homelessness.
That's not to say we shouldn't be compassionate, but the issue is a hell of a lot more complex than just giving them a house and nothing else.
It feels good to say “give things to the poor”.
It’s no fun to say “force mentally ill addicts into treatment“.
Well then we might have to reopen all those mental institutions that Reagan closed (only with ya know modern treatment).
Why didn't we ever reopen them?
I mean, I know why we don't now, but we had a few decades since Reagan of occasionally reasonable administrations...
