Maybe do some research into your own city’s court system before you claim that homelessness is criminalized

Care for the mentally ill? Where, at your house? How are you going to force a paranoid mentally ill person to stay on their medications? You going to be the one to hold them down and give them an injection each month? Or do you want to lock them up in a hospital, that they DON’T want to be in, against their will for months/years on end to keep them stable on their meds that way? Are you going to be the one to rip the illegal drugs out of their hands, to force them to stop using those?

Who’s going to pay for those institutions? How much money do you think it is, per month, to provide a trained staff of licensed clinicians, nurses, doctors, etc, room and board, and food for homeless in these hospitals. You going to pay for all that?

I love progressives and their grandiose ideals with absolutely zero real world applicable knowledge
This can be distilled into "better things aren't possible", which may be true in fact. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
