It seems so simple. So basic of an idea that you wonder why it has not been implemented yet.
It is involuntary care.
As communities across the province grapple with street disorder and a sense of insecurity, involuntary care is seen by many as a solution. Politicians of all stripes have offered it up to concerned residents and businesses as a path forward.
The problem is it is unlikely to be what people are expecting. The expectation is that it will be a panacea; the reality will be quite different.
Sometimes I think this homeless class of people is supposed to be an ever present threat. If you don’t want to engage with the capitalist economy, then you end up on the street, seen as less than by the majority of society.
Not to be a “this^” commenter, but you sure said the quiet part out loud. Great insight
