Debate: Lock Up Mentally Ill Homeless People for Public Safety?

You got to love these naive libertarians!

Have we not learnt the lessons of mass deinstitutionalization? Going from one extrem to another was not a good solution! After so many decades we still have not found a reasonable balance between either or institutionalization or not! 

We probably need a broad spectrum of solutions (including psychiatric hospitals) and a flexible approach to treat individuals!

"... But there is low-hanging fruit. Allow developers to build more housing to drive down prices. End the drug war so that opioid users know what they're putting into their bodies. ..."

Debate: Lock Up Mentally Ill Homeless People for Public Safety Have we forgotten the era of mass institutionalization? Choosing the Streets Over Shelters Is Dangerous for Everyone
