What do you think about mental condition induced homelessness in terms of a solution?
I know institutionalisation used to be more common, but also seems quite bad for some people. A friend of mine was once institutionalized and had horror stories about it. I can't help but feel like mental institutions are bad AND letting people with mental problems roam on their own is bad. Is the solution to have good institutions?
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI don't think I can really do this question justice in an off-the-cuff comment on Hacker News. Your framing of the question suggests to me that there would be a great deal of ground to cover to try to get you to see the problem space the way I see the problem space. I've made a note of it in a draft. Perhaps I will find the words someday and address it, at least somewhat, in a post on Street Life Solutions.
- ALittleLight 7y agoI appreciate that. Thank you. I hope one day, if you do find the words and time, to read it.
