    Debtors prison, that’s where we’re at now. I don’t disagree that some houseless people also suffer from mental instability, but they’re the ones you notice.

    I live in California and have worked with people who had to sleep in their car. I’ve also been coded before. The experience was horrible; about 20-30 women in an always lit room with no door. Your bed was a chair that reclined. The common area was standing room only during the day while a troubled man shit himself.

    All this does is shove a problem under the rug. The cost of living is insane, and support for people struggling with an addiction is handled by local groups.
