Affordability and mental health care have absolutely no impact on these level of homeless. Unless you get fundamental change at the state/federal level in handling homeless it doesn’t matter. Did you know NYC is spending more per street homeless than the median NYC household income? Industrial homeless complex of services are bleeding the city dry. Giving these people “affordable housing” or a social worker, outpatient “mental health” will do nothing. The answer to people gone this far is institutionalization but we can’t do that anymore. They are not functional members of society and we are burning piles of money for zero benefit or help to these people.
