Doesn’t seem to address the core problems, which are stupid California laws favoring patient autonomy and lack of quality mental health and addiction services.

You can thank Reagan for this.

"The steady release of patients into communities created urgency for the creation of more community-based services for the treatment of mental illness. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed the Mental Health Systems Act to provide community block grant funding to states for such services. However, when President Ronald Reagan went into office the following year, he signed the Omnibus Budge Reconciliation Act of 1981, retracting the funding, according to GovTrac website."

It’s a complicated question with many variables...Break it down into three groups.....#1 Mentally ill, this group probably makes up a large percentage...these people don’t need housing first, they need treatment...This group can also include drug addicts...

#2 Regular Joe’s down on their luck, they need housing first, but also couple that with career counseling with clear guidelines and time limits..

#3 Lazy fucks who choose to live off our tax dollars, they manipulate the system and have no plans to ever change...

I would gladly kick in for 1 and 2....burn group 3...

That’s part of it. But California and some other very hippie states also overvalue the right of patients to make decisions about their medical care, even if they’re crazy out of their gourd. It’s much more difficult to provide involuntarily treatment to severely mentally ill people in California than in some other states. Places that have a more paternalistic approach and that have adequate resources don’t have armies of homeless schizophrenics.
