People condemn California because of all the homeless on the streets. Newsome comes up with a plan to address that and the same people condemn that.
“Health care and housing can no longer be divorced. After all, what’s more fundamental to a person’s well-being than a roof over their head?”
This is absolutely true. You are not going to be able to treat the mentally ill as long as they stay on the streets.
People condemn the fact that we kicked the mentally ill out on the streets and now when someone is wanting to address that, that gets condemned. I don't get it. I think some simply like to bitch and nothing would ever please them.
I've long said that we need to have the conversation about what to do with the mental illness problem in this country. Would I support every aspect that might get promoted here? I don't know but someone is willing to step up and start the conversation at the very least. And we are going to condemn that?
I would be all for sweeping the mentally ill off our streets, and forcibly institutionalizing them. Unfortunately your ACLU sues to stop any attempts to do so.
