People Asking For Money

[Iceblink]

The problem with a hand out to people on the street is that you are not addressing the real problem with many, if not most, that are homeless and that is their mental health issues and we just do not deal very effectively with these issues in our society. Because of the horrendous treatment in the past of people in our mental health facilities and some people forced into the system that did not belong there, we dealt with it by pretty much going completely the opposite way and giving up on the system almost entirely and dumped many people into the streets. We've since made it very difficult for families and courts to make these kinds of decisions for people who have legitimately lost the ability to make healthy decisions for themselves and so more people end up in the streets.
