Politicians blaming homelessness on mental health or addiction issues is a deflection technique. It is a complete abdication of moral responsibility for the way so many public policies have driven people into chronic and unbearable despair for decades.

Unaffordable housing is a direct result of zoning and building regulations.

But focusing on only one group and ignoring the others is why California and Portland are so messed up. Those drug addicts, ptsd, and alcoholics need mandatory state help. There are more of them than the ones who have recently lost housing who need housing and a living wage.

You also can't then say you support our Troops when 11% of the homeless population are Veterans. This is the largest group of any

Where is the legal precedent compelling government to moral imperative to care for those who refuse to help themselves?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Absolutely, and they've been doing it for years, as US job losses long surpassed job gains.

That’s by design though… The system is still serfdom, as usual… the only thing that changes is the naming 🤷🏻‍♀️

60% of homeless people are working at least one job. Our countries failed them.

Well if you really want to do that make a steeper estate tax. Use that money to roll back all of Ronald Wilson Reagan's horrible policies of closing down mental hospitals and services like that.
