All true, and incentive to fix what's wrong with the system, but we can't fix it in it's current state, it needs billions in investment to reverse the damage caused by Reagan that turned people loose in the streets in the first place.

Locally, in my town? I think a billion would cover it.

We need a no questions asked hospital for medical care and a no questions asked mental health/addiction clinic. Get everyone the treatment they need. If they need permanent care, provide permanent care.

If folks are physically and mentally fit (or when they become physically and mentally fit), they need an agency for job training and placement and housing assistance. Provide email, address and phone service, as well as laundry assistance. Job and interview training.

There also need to be specialists on the job and housing sides too who deal with people with criminal records.

Speaking of, people with open warrants or actively committing crimes need to go through the criminal justice system.
