So what do you do with these people? They are all over the place causing all kinds of problems. Needles everywhere, fights, defecating/urinating outside, theft, vandalism, leaving trash everywhere. Drugging out, overdosing causing stress to others having to deal with and witness, what do people suggest we do about this serious problem? What if they are outside your house, harassing you, your family, and your neighbors?
You give them homes, a safe supply and therapy.
I think this is a bit simplistic. I think a large amount of people don't want help or won't accept it, mostly i think it is psychological problems. They don't have the capacity or ability to be responsible for themselves and maintain a living space. People who actually want help can find it, i don't believe these are the people who are being talked about to be honest. I do think an educated 3rd party is necessary to keep government from being heavy handed in their decision making.
