So... In effect... A mentally ill man who if you actually gave him a home to live in, would urinate in one corner and then defecate in the other and he would then wallow around in both while laughing and talking to himself.
What these homeless and 'troubled' people actually need is called an 'institution'. We need to reopen all those mental asylums they closed in the 1980s and 90s... These people need a 'home' of sorts... Just not an actual home.
I think what put an end to those was back in 1972 Geraldo Rivera did an expose on the Willowbrook mental institution and like everything else run by the government, it was a disaster, a nightmare and after that they had the brilliant idea to make all of NYC a mental institution.
