    Nobody wants to stash all homeless people in psychiatric care, unlimited at that. That would overload their capacity thousandfold and makes no sense, this shit is expensive. Right now it seems you’re pushing some kind of narrative… Can you back up your claims?

      What claims are you asking me to back up specifically? The meme above is evidence enough that people believe institutions are an appropriate solution to homelessness, but if you’re looking for more evidence of those claims: you can find plenty such arguments in a cursory google search.

      Any such policy would be de-facto unlimited because homeless people don’t stop being homeless when you discharge them from an institution. You could just have them committed again.
