Just imagine living on the streets for an extended period, while also dealing with substance abuse and/or other mental illnesses. The state has failed you, there is no denying that. Indeed the state has repeatedly failed you. Every time you’ve tried to improve your living conditions has failed. Everytime you’ve tried to fix your substance abuse problem has failed, and every time you’ve found shelter, you’ve lost it for some reason. This has happened multiple times over. Do you honestly believe that after all that, people are still rational and blindly accept help from the state? No, they’ve failed so for, you might as well just accept that things are as good as they’ll get. When tackling this problem, we don’t only have to deal with the current situations, we also have to consider past failure, because people remember them, and they do affect current behavior.
