The tragic irony of shutting them down is that the alternative is so much worse. Because the alternative has been prison and homelessness. Which one liberal poster here has not minded too much, anyway.
1) It wasn't worse. There's a reason why they closed them down 50 years ago, because they were horrible places.
2) If we aren't going to address the issue of income inequality, we aren't going to fix the results of it. (I.E. the poor mentally ill ending up on grates or prison.)
3) When you offer to pay a higher tax rate to support these places, let me know.
