💯 Thank you! Devil's going to be in the details. Can you scale this sort of mandated treatment in an effective, lasting and compassionate way? There will be lots of opportunities for abuse and mismanagement. Do we even have enough qualified caregivers to meet the demand?
Don't know until we try. Right now we are mostly either locking people up or not doing anything at all. This is a welcome attempt at a compromise. I'm all for it.
Same. All for trying new ideas. Locking some people up and leaving others on the streets has obviously failed. I just hope the execution of it is done well and cities like San Francisco actually take advantage of the program and enforce the mandated treatment.
in other words, if these issues continue to be covered up like they have been for 20 years, it's guaranteed to get even worse. I'll try to make it an annual reminder, but this is 1 1/2 years later and sure enough, it's even worse
