Here in NYC we have these welfare hotels that rip off the city charging luxery hotel rates to house people and families in squalerous rat holes when the city would just save a whole lot of money getting these people into aparments they don't.
Shelters are dangerous unclean disease ridden places.
Pouring money and resources into institutions is not going to solve the problem since most of these people need regular housing and assistance. Few need total committment.
It's the same story with the elderly they pour tons of money into the upkeep of hell hole nursing homes that commit elderly people rather than spending a fraction of the cost to just hire an attendant to take care of them at home.
Charles Manson made a good point when he said jail beats the old age home anytime because after spending time in any of those other overcrowed (they always will be as long as there is a financial incentive to admit more people) ""fine "help" facilities"" you will probably become legitimately insane.
Take care of all these other correctable issues and there should be more than enough money left over to house the few that have SEVERE mental health issues.
Resorting to full scale warehousing is not a step in the right direction for a freedom oriented democracy.
