Not that anyone ever did the mentally ill any favors when they were tossed out on the street... But it wasn't wrong to close them. They were torture dungeons where the government warehoused undesirables that it wasn't allowed to euthanize because we were supposed to be the good guys. Even now, they're literally a horror movie cliche... that doesn't happen by accident, it doesn't happen unjustifiably. If you think that people want to bring them back without admitting that society was wrong to close them in the first place, how much of that is "I want the homeless to stop shitting on my front door stoop in San Francisco"?
