If there were an earthquake today and suddenly thousands of residents didn't have a place to sleep, we'd mobilize and build homes for everyone within weeks. Why are we not doing this for those sleeping on our streets now?

Essentially what hasn’t been handled in either city is the emergent encampment that their policies of dumping people started! Responsibility for this runs waaaay deeper than just not building them houses. The mental health institutions never prepped ppl for this; how could they.

You end up with a lump of insitituitionally resistant people simply too large for either city to digest, and it continues to this day

Way more throughput in the first group. The 2nd group was essentially “handled” by mental health institutions in California. Gave us “one flew over the cuckoo’s nest”. When Cali closed its hospitals due to pushback they bussed patients to current ctr of tenderloin, LA Skid Row.
