Keep replicans from being greedy, keep liberal's hearts from bleeding too much?

Too many pages for me to see if someone fact checked you, but this is a myth and a half.

Conservatives didn't shut down the mental hospitals - Reagan pushed responsibility for this type of thing onto the states and offered them grants. It was the states who decided what to do - in most cases, shut down the mental hospitals.

Unless you're trying to argue that California is a bastion of conservatism.

True. We can't blame the homeless problem on a political party.

Did the Emptying of Mental Hospitals Contribute to Homelessness?

You are saying "wow" to that, but there are literally hundreds of smaller scale encampments in City of Los Angeles exactly like that.

And the skid row one has ballooned in size 4 fold since Garcetti became mayor and every single other encampment popped up since he became mayor.
