Yeah TBH I actually agree with a lot of your points but I still feel like you're over simplifying this. The pre 1980s mental health institution had a whole other set of problems as well.

Sounds like you're insinuating that my viewpoint is homeless people are not citizens which is just not what I said.

Honestly you lost me at the first sentence. It's very obviously a complex problem and to suggest it's simple is just demoralizing to the dedicated civil servants that work so hard to fix it.

And homelessness has always been a problem, I feel like generally people fall into this rosy recollection to a time where it was far harder to document it

Welcome to how the world works. Citizens like clean places to live

I don't think the first part is true but unfortunately I agree on the second part. The west Coast in general has been struggling with this for a while and the compassionate approach hasn't shown the promised results. Maybe it technically is, but visible homelessness is what gets people elected.

Not really much hydro in Texas, or close by

Won't this just be thrown out? I thought you couldn't sue the sitting president
