    Also, I would have assumed that all of @obk stuff would fit in 1-2 dump trucks, maybe 3 tops.

    Ok. Props on a good line.

    This isn't a call for genocide - but this filth lifestyle is bullshit.

    Blame it on Reagan budget cuts for gutting mental institutions if it makes you feel better but some of 'these people' (yes, I said it) shouldn't be left to their own devices. Round them the fuck up - sift through the truly mentally ill from the drug addicts and get them to proper care or rehab. Anybody who thinks allowing them to live like savages is somehow humane is off their fucking rocker.

    It does make me feel better; thank you. With that outta the way, I’m all for it for those who are breaking the law. For the rest, it’s a dicey issue relative to civil liberties.

    I get that civil liberties part too if you've been following my posts -but that presumption that liberty also requires responsibility....but the whole 'breaking the law thing" changes the tone of the entire conversation. We have laws on the books that are simply being ignored. Enforce them. If some need to go into mental health care, so be it. But turning them back into society to be repeat offenders because of mental illness isn't good for the individual or society in general.

    I agree. Pay the money to institutionalize the mental and make it very unpleasant for the rest. Build low cost holding pens and lock up the druggies and alcoholics. No overnight camping. No open drug use. No drunks in public. We didn't have this problem 50 years ago and we have a lell of a lot more money.

    But it's a complete mystery how we resolve the homeless problem overnight.

    Why is it a federal obligation to pay for Oregon mental health patients?

    Because it’s a nationwide issue?
    Actually, it's not. It's a liberal state and liberal city issue.

    Like I said, nationwide.
