I agree that we should take care of our mentally disabled instead of letting them roam the streets.
I do not think that's what cheetoman would do with those institutions.
I'm British and we have our fair share of crazy homeless people. However, I was absolutely shocked when I visited San Francisco at the levels of crazy I saw wandering the streets. It was unbelievable and would just straight up not happen in the UK, these people would be in a hospital or care home.
Too young to remember "Care in the community", perhaps?
Btw that was Reagan's fault
Yes too young to remember. Interesting.
Still though, the difference was stark. It does seem like less people slip through the net in the UK from my admittedly limited experience.
