Here is President Trump addressing the homeless crisis, as it pertains to the drug addicted and mentally ill. See the first minute of this video:
A few years ago I wrote about this subject.
From that post:
More than fifty years ago, most of our psychiatric hospitals closed, and most of their patients released to the public. There were more than 600,000 patients in such hospitals in 1955; now there are fewer than 50,000 beds available for psychiatric patients.
Changes in the laws placed a heavier emphasis on the rights of the patient than the safety of society, to be blunt about it. There are huge legal barriers against commitment of the mentally ill. In order to be committed, the patient must be a threat to himself or others. This often means that an attempted suicide or an attack on others must occur before the mentally ill person can be restrained.
This is not a kindness to society, and it certainly isn’t kind to the mentally ill. Without care and separation from normal society, a small but significant percentage of the severely mentally ill now pose a danger to the general public. Many of America’s mass homicides have been committed by mentally sick persons whose mental illness is ignored. In many cases, families attempt to force treatment of mentally ill relations, but are unable to do so because their civil liberties trump the perceived need for their incarceration.
Mental institutions were funded and built because society had been dealing with the mentally ill in a way similar to what we see now – instead of treatment, they are thrown in jail, or live on the streets. Many are addicted to drugs or alcoholics. Some are violent, and innocent citizens are attacked or killed. The mental institutions were built by the states, dedicating funds to care for mental patients in a more caring and moral way. Were mistakes made, or patients mistreated? Sometimes, yes. But, in the long run, it was a kinder and more effective way to deal with the mentally ill in our society.

Instead of fixing the problem they simply made it worse and probably found a way to profit off of their solution, That is the way the left works.
