So, where should they live?



Where were they all living for time immemorial up until about 10 years ago? What changed in society, such that this is deemed okay and acceptable, to have people camping in tents all over downtown areas throughout the country?

In facilities for people with mental issues. Those cost money so they got put on the street. Now local municipalities have to deal with them out of their budget.

Jindal and others cut mental health spending.

I'm not talking about the idiot yankee snobs who want to grow a beard and do urban camping. Truly homeless people, the vast majority of them are so mentally ill that they have no ability to hold down a job or do anything functional.
