re: What’s your solution for the homeless?

Modern America isn't prepared for the harsh realities of having to confront mental illness and drug abuse to resolve homelessness.

Well, it is one of the inherent failures of living in a republic with voting rights. Issues like this will go unresolved because, for one, the appropriate mechanism to fix it will never be agreed upon, and two, the population, which ultimately votes, would never have the stomach to successfully address the issues.

I’ll admit, I am losing faith in our current system, largely due to the flaws such as this.

Now, you can’t “cure” homelessness, but you can severely curtail it through forced/involuntary hospitalization of the mentally ill and drug addicted.
