And where do you propose to home these mentally ill folks? I got it! On your street, near your property, with your kids and your spouse.
OR, we could just build them a giant cinderblock dog kennel outside of town, lock 'em in so they don't fuck up everything they come near.
OR, we can provide mental health care, like we used to. Lock 'em away forever in asylums.
FFS, know how I know you've never worked or lived around the homeless?
I'll wait while you spell it out.
I’m not afraid of homeless people. There was a homeless encampment a couple blocks from my old place. I had some great conversations with several of them. They’re just people.
And guess what. Once you give them a home, they’re not homeless people.
