I’m in Boston and the homeless take over Harvard Square in the evenings.

The income gap is growing.[/quote]

Homeless is not a function of income gap. Whether people make 300K max or $1B max there will still be the same drivers of homelessness.[/quote]

So what's your solution? Yes, lots of these people CHOOSE to live on the street despite the dangers. You literally cannot convince these mentally ill people to make the right choice, let alone hold down a job and save for a security deposit.

Look, the real reason Reagan shut down the mental hospitals is that he wanted to go on a tax cutting binge. Literally one of the first things he does when he gets into office is shut down a massive source of tax spending - community mental health institutions.

Who is volunteering for their taxes to go up? None of the Republicans I know who incessantly complain about the homeless in DC, LA, NYC, etc.[/quote]

It was not just a cost cutting decision by Reagan
