Im assuming you don’t live in NYC because if you did you would know how uncomfortable it is to be waiting for the subway with clearly (a lot of) mentally unstable people walking and yelling in circles and you or your loved ones are relatively alone just trying to use public transportation.
100% im glad they spent that money, they need MORE policing in the subways until they find a way to help the mentally ill unhomed.
- silverquiet 3y agoI suppose it's one of the aspects of living in a free country that the mentally ill also have the right to freedom of speech even if it makes those around them uncomfortable. It's controversial to force people to take a vaccine once in awhile, I can't imagine how hard it would be to force people to take psychiatric medications every day. I don't think the police can treat mental illness or build houses for the homeless no matter how much money you throw at them.
- the_mar 3y agoI mean... it's not like they solved it in any way shape or form. I only really see cops by the turnstiles which is entirely useless at doing anything about the mentally unstable.
- malfist 3y agoWhy do you think police are the answer to mental health?

- malfist 3y agoA public space is not "showing up at your door"
- up2isomorphism 3y agoWell how about in your neighborhood? In front of your house? Or your kids school’s neighborhood? Just trying to understand what you can actually do.
