It seems like there’s no safety net nationally so people flock to the most welcoming place, that’s totally natural.
But not enough funding is provided to treat the problem as what it is: a national issue.
Then it creates this horrendous impasse between helping and providing medical care but also wanting to live in a clean, safe city.
Seems to me the problem is California is dealing with a National problem but without national funding.

- lazyasciiart 4y agoThere are not plenty of resources. There are people on the street willing and desperate to enter rehab - and no rehab facility they can enter. There are people living in hospital emergency rooms waiting for a space to open in mental health treatment facilities. This is absolutely false, and spreading this misinformation directly contributes to redirecting time and money and public sentiment away from creation of these resources, and towards the pointless, inhumane attempts to punish people for not taking advantage of opportunities that do not exist.
