re: The homeless encampment under the expressway in NOLA is out of control.

There are over 40,000 homeless veterans. This is a fact. Much easier to turn the other cheek and just call them all lazy though. Put your cognitive dissonance in your pipe and keep smoking it.
Pretty funny isn't it. I wonder how many of those feigning outrage over kneeling during the National Anthem subsequently don't give a shite about a real substantive issue affecting our troops and service members. A lot given the responses here.

Back in the day the severely mentally ill were warehoused in facilities that were often truly awful. Partly due to humanitarian motives, and partly due to budgetary motives, most of those facilities were closed. Community based mental health programs were supposed to take their place, but for the most part they were never set up or funded to a sufficient level, of they were instituted at all. Furthermore, even when resources are available, it's much more difficult to commit someone against his/her will. And that's not even getting into the substance abuse issue, which is usually intertwined with the mental illness. ETA my little town in BFE has homeless now. I don't know where they come from or where they stay, but you see them roaming the streets at all hours.
Wasn't there litigation or court decisions involved as well from the 1960s through the 1980s? Judges said it was unconstitutional to force citizens into the confinement of mental health institutions against their will? Again, anecdotal, as I remember hearing it said on radio many years ago, now, and I didn't have my notebook open so that I could quote for the OT.

I just had a friend visit from out of town and he was pretty disgusted that the city allows that to even happen. It's embarrassing, really.

You're a sissy. Humans are human no matter how low they get. Take your sanity elsewhere .

I see them all the time hanging around gas stations on Clearview, Causeway, Airline, etc.
