At some point, sure. But don't dismiss the persuasive power of free food, shelter from the elements, a bed, laundry service, etc. (especially if those are being provided by the same place! ZOMG, what a concept!) to voluntarily entice most of the homeless population to a safe facility.
- vkou 8y agoWhat happens when this entices someone who is screaming at imaginary aliens between the hours of 3 am to 5 am, uses the hallway as a toilet, and is convinced that his neighbour wants to kill him in his sleep? Do you force-medicate them? Restrain them? Kick them out? Or just let them ruin it for everyone else? What exactly are you proposing the institution should do? What about someone overdosing twice a week? Do you just keep sending ambulances to drive them to the ER, until they finally die, and we can feel smug and superior that, well, at least their human rights weren't infringed?
