[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Civilized societies don’t have endless people living on the streets.[/quote]

We have a housing crisis. We have an expensive healthcare system tied to employment with limited mental health services. We fail to see addiction as a disease and view it as a moral failure.[/quote]

[b]No, we do not have a "housing crisis." We have vacancies in every city, everywhere.[/b] And even if we did not, new housing could be built easily and quickly.

What we have is a lack of will to say, you will not live on public streets, infringing on everyone else's right to safety and to enjoy parks, etc. If you do not have your own home, or a relative to take you in, [b]you will be moved to a facility.[/b] End of discussion.

Addiction is not a disease. It does not develop out of nowhere. It is the result of substance use and abuse. [/quote]

Correct, we have vacancies that would house all these homeless...but if they have no money, are you expecting landlords to put them up for free?

Nobody is all that excited about voucher tenants (except for the landlords).

What is the "facility" of which you speak?  There aren't enough shelter beds for all these folks.[/quote]
