I suspect at the root of much of the homeless and violently mentally ill people are urban Democrat policies.....Just read the history of Philadelphia State Hospital. The Lawyer who was at the head of the assault to release the 7,000 inmates sued the state, got payment from the state, and then sued the state for releasing them. BIG time lib who didn’t give a crap about the patients, but man, did he LOVE the money.
That same thing happened in Illinois. It caused an explosion in homelessness and crime.
