[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 4115022, member: 69587"] I agree with you. Somewhat. In some parts of this country, it is very easy for sane, non-addicted, reasonably motivated people to find themselves dealing with job and housing insecurity. As for myself, all of my twenty-something years were exactly that. But those people can usually count on family or friends to shack up with if they need to. But when a person is mentally ill, an addict, or a dysfunctional drunk; THOSE people have screwed over or caused too much drama to their family and friends that they have effectively burned all their bridges. Hence, nowhere to go. Before the Reagan administration there were mental health facilities. Most homeless people you see running amok today would've qualified for such services. A major barrier to this is the modern narrative of "homeless people have rights". And it isn't difficult to guess which political party is tooting THAT particular horn. Druggies, drunks, and the mentally ill have been making far too many 'contributions' (read that as future mentally ill people) to the gene-pool in the U.S. simply because they are enabled and allowed to mingle together in society. I admit that what I'm writing could be easily interpreted as advocating eugenics. A very slippery slope. But from what I've seen, the "gene pool" in the U.S. could definitely use some "chlorine."
