So the mentally ill deserve to be left to rot in the streets? Why else have a social safety net, if not for them?

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.

That's what we do in Finland and it's been working great so far

Free apartments work for about 80% of people and can be cheaper than hospital/jail!
(And to be specific about that minority of folks, they are not able to pick up after themselves etc.)

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.
