    What do you want to do, give them a house? – because we closed down all the asylums. That’s where we used to house them. I’d rather give mentally healthy people the houses.

            Then it’s clear you’re not actually reading any of the conversation here. Maybe go back and read the topic at hand, come back when you’ve got a good grasp on it.

            This topic isn’t about housing, it’s about housing specifically for the maladapted, psychotic, drug addicts, etc. Many here are arguing that giving them a house would make them ALL BETTER and turn them into functioning, productive members of society…

      Well we need to think ahead a little bit. We can’t take a mentally ill person right off the street and stick them in a colonial revival and expect them to maintain with the upkeep.
