[quote=Anonymous]^ Just moving people out of Union Station and sticking them somewhere at great taxpayer expense can just spread the misery. Why isn't drug or mental health treatment required? Currently, involuntary commitment is very difficult legally in DC. Also, it is extremely expensive and does not have a great success rate. The current formula for meth, for example, creates brain damage and psychosis that may not be fixable, very quickly. The Atlantic recently did a long piece about it. CA is going back to making involuntary commitment easier. How to keep all of those people from now coming East? https://apnews.com/article/649ea15c59d6f4cc2938ae3ad91cb3e2 I don't see DC as close to doing that any time soon, if ever. It is cruel that the mentally ill are freezing to death in parks, we would not allow that for a dog. Very sad. [/quote]
