The issue is those people who cannot function in society, they get kicked out of every apartment they live in, they don’t qualify for public hosing because they are drug addicts, they are in jail multiple times per year etc. They also refuse to hold down a job or use any government assistance for its intended purpose. They live to get high and cause trouble. What do you do with a person who cannot even maintain a studio apartment and prepare meals for themselves?
The only possible answer is that as a civilization we have to go “back to the future”. I taught in a small town that kept its rural, isolated character until the early 1980s. Until the state and the feds started taking over programs, the town took care of its own. Until things get more local and everyone feels like they’re part of a community, the problems can only get worse. When it all comes tumblin’ down (and it will) it’s those places that have skills and identity to be self-sufficient that will survive.
