[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a young guy curled up near Blue Mercury Cathedral Commons yesterday--fetal on the sidewalk. And everyone just walkin' on by. Please call 311 people for their wellness check services. We need to get people OFF the streets. If you are calling 311 every five minutes, maybe the city will legislate longer holds, more treatment. IDK. But if you ignore it they will as well. I do it all the time and didn't this time. It's your turn.[/quote]

People made a lot or noise and complained about the tent encampments downtown and the mayor’s quick solution was to put the homeless mentally ill people in apartments on CT with little supervision, making life hell for people who were living there peacefully. I do agree that people like the person you describe need help but i doubt they would get real help even if we call 311 twenty times a day[/quote]

I experienced a similar thing - dude passed out literally on someone's rowhouse front walkway not looking good, on a block near Eastern market, hot day, with people walking by, glancing at him and they kept walking. I was with my 4 year old, stayed a safe distance away, and called 911 for an ambulance. It was sad to see people just walk by. One person stopped and looked at me and gestured to ask if I called, but most just kept walking.

It doesn't hurt to call 911, just do it.[/quote]
