one of the things i found most shocking when i moved to san francisco was the way a person would just look you in the eye and blame homelessness on ronald reagan, a now dead ex-president and popular right-wing bogeyman who ran the state of california 45 years agohttps://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1305894250161160193 …

I see a lot of parallels between SF now and NYC of the 80s/90s. And a popular right-wing bogeyman is exactly what fixed NYC at the time. The irony of those sorts of policies being what SF needs now is almost too much.

The difference is NYC used to be affordable

My understanding is that under Gov Reagan, mental institutions were closed in part because attitudes & laws around institutionalizing the mentally ill changed in the 60s. If the hospitals were emptying out, what would be the point of paying to keep them open?

The two greatest attractors to homeless people are weather & wealth, both of which CA has in abundance. I understand homelessness is icky but we should probably try to find solutions that don't involve locking people up for being poor.
-
Has anyone of influence actually suggested locking up people for being poor?

The human mind is capable of performing extreme mental acrobatics to protect itself and its entrenched belief system from responsibility or blame. That is why it takes so little encouragement for most people to embrace victimhood.
