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.

If it’s because of mental health or addiction…then we need to get these people into safe environments where they can be given treatment.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The trauma of facing homelessness may lead to mental health and addiction issues. There may be a correlation but it's a cop out to point a finger and ignore the problem.

Agree, economy, GDP figures are not reflecting reality on street level! People attitude needs to change, feels like a curfew is in effect, people are not having conversation, they have hostile disposition. Why some areas have many drug addicts, many reasons, difficult situation☮️
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yeah, and those issues are connected products of the same social systems our leaders refuse to improve.

What percentage of homeless have mental illness or addiction?
Replying to @marwilliamson
It’s mostly NIMBY building policies.
