But they will be on the streets with dignity.
I recall that in the early 1970s there was a movement to end institutionalizing the mentally disabled. The argument was that the institutions were akin to snake pits and that the residents were mistreated and abused. The movement gained traction and over time many state run facilities closed. While those supporting the move promised that the newly released would be cared for in the community, my observation (living in Philadelphia) was that the community consisted of public parks in the summer and steaming manhole covers for wintertime comfort. I suspect that newly liberated mentally challenged Pennsylvanians will end up in similar circumstances.
