Why isn't California wonderful?

We can keep them comfortable with food, drugs, water, and air conditioning in a walled off facility.

Let me guess, you like to chest-thump about America being the land of the free?

There are a lot of homeless vets out there. Those very ones you would say "thank you for your service" to when you meet them in a different circumstance.

There are mentally ill people out there who can't get a job, let alone health care and they often don't have family to care for them.

I've never heard of or seen a drug addict say that being a junkie was a career choice when they were in school. Life happens.

Then why is nobody building mental hospitals and have mandatory commitment??

You nailed that one perfectly. Here in Florida, we have a serious homeless population problem. Right down the road from my home, in the woods, there is a homeless camp, and this is in a very nice neighborhood. If you go to any city in the country, there are people with signs and pushing grocery carts with their entire lives inside those carts.

California, like Florida, has so many because it is WARM. If I were going to live homeless, I would not do it in Minnesota or Vermont. Why freeze your tail off when you can be where the climate is always nice and warm ?
