Healthcare isn't what's missing in these peoples lives nor is it even in the slightest what is causing homelessness.Mental healthcare is only so effective. Same with addictive medicine.
But healthcare for all would help.
Someone here said the criteria for institutionalizing someone needs to be revamped.
That person smart.
Never seem to get an answer for this one.Allow? Are you allowing it? Who's allowing it?
What's your solution?
I've posted it here many times before.Never seem to get an answer for this one.
You personally can start by not giving change to panhandlers.Allow? Are you allowing it? Who's allowing it?
What's your solution?
Please not I said it would help and I think it would.Healthcare isn't what's missing in these peoples lives nor is it even in the slightest what is causing homelessness.
I never do.You personally can start by not giving change to panhandlers.
One more time for kicks?I've posted it here many times before.
What good is that person doing for society?Yesterday and crazy homeless person walked into traffic and the person in from of me had to stop suddenly and I did too.
We came so close to getting into a wreck.
I would have been blamed for the wreck but it was the crazy person creating the safety hazard.
I agree with everything except for the drug stuff.It depends on how much you value civil liberties.
Involuntary committals aren't legal anymore.
States that take a lax approach and allow people to break the law and infringe on the rights of others are going to have bigger issues that ones that don't which causes the migration and concentration of homeless people.
Drug use causes permanent mental issues so allowing legal drug use is a multiplier of the problem. The mentally ill also gravitate towards drug use.
Allowing being homeless to be a comfortable alternative, (as comfortable as being homeless can be) isn't going to help. Even the craziest of the crazy have moments of clarity. Having control of them during these moments can help get them diagnosed or back on the meds they need. This can also lead to finding family members who are willing to contribute to the care of them. Keeping them moving and arresting those that don't or break the laws in other ways is a perfectly reasonable approach to gaining information on them and being able to offer them services. It would also cause some to get tired of the hassle and seek life changes. Allowing the homeless to embed is heartless and mean.
