More proof that Liberal policies don't work.

You have homelessness.  Libs do nothing.  You have drug use...Libs encourage it.  You have robberies, and it's treated with kid gloves via Liberal policy.  I understrand that kid gloves feel good as it happens, but there are the ramifications.  How many times will Libs double down on failed policy?

 

Salesforce is considering to move their huge meeting away from San Fransisco due to drug use and homelessness.  Your love is killing the city...and the citizens.

You know it was Ronald Reagan that closed the mental health hospitals which is the root cause of a lot of homelessness.  Get these people into a facility so they get their meds and make sure they take their meds.  You could probably get half the homeless people off the street by having a place for the people with mental health problems.Unfortunately conservatives were more interested in saving a buck and now we have this problem they created.

If some people and companies move away from SFO, others will move in. Boiler thinks that everyone is obsessed with politics. They're not. People and businesses have been relocating primarily due to the increase in remote work, and the opportunities it gives people to not commute.

 

I understand. I commuted into SF for two years. It wasn't worth it to me. And I ultimately decided I didn't want to pay to live in the City. But I still love it: The City is absolutely beautiful and the people are awesome. And yes, I like the atmosphere of tolerance. In SF, guys are treated like people. In Boiler Land, they're routinely murdered. Guess that's the "Liberal" difference

What we have not had a democrat President since Ronald Reagan? Interesting! Mark you gotta know that is a really sad answer and excuse. 


Remember the time when Boil and his pals marched in downtown Indianapolis?

Are you such a fool as to not realize that a government program is shut down and destroyed, it can't be brought back to life with a smooch, like Cinderella?

 

And...what if a hostile Congress doesn't want to fund it?

 

FYI, Clinton and Obama both tried to reinstate the programs Reagan killed...but ultimately couldn't get Congress to approve. Fun fact! It was one of the things Obama had to give up in order to get Obamacare passed.

 

The damage Reagan caused will last for generations, as will the damage Trump caused

Kevin is correct...not everyone is obsessed with politics.  People are obsessed with their neighborhoods going to hell...in San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland and 50 more.  As my mom used to say, the proof is in the pudding.  People are moving away as the Liberal policies happen.  Kevin argues that all is good.  Downtown San Franciso is over 50% vacant, and that's all he has.  People are fleeing Chicago and Portland, and that's all he has.

 

Oh my.

My take on this is similar to other social Ills.  In the case of mental illness, in times past persons with mental illness were hidden away by their families, little to no treatment.  Wars brought home soldiers who weren't the same son, husband, brother, etc. they waved goodbye to.  Families rightly expected the lovely homecoming, everybody happy, hugs all around, everything back to normal.  But what they got was a scarred young man unable to get back to where he was socially and psychologically, a daddy who couldn't give what he no longer had to his wife and kids.  Families hid them away somehow, or maybe they drifted out of the lives of those who had loved them once.   Veterans hospitals became shell-shock center and ongoing psychiatric care, what was known of it at the time.  (I had some experience in that arena.  I still smell the odor of paraldehyde, one of the few 'drugs' available in 1968, at least, to calm their damaged minds.)

 

As more and more soldiers came home damaged, psychiatric facilites began to bulge at the seams.   Criteria had to be established for who would be housed there forever.  Judges were loathe to limit freedoms by involuntarily committing everyone. 

 

So, I don't know about "Ronald Reagan closed mental health facilities, but somebody had to take care of them.  Residential treatment was designed, people willing to take the least sick of the sickest into their homes, house, feed, personal care, ensure they got their meds, for a stipend.  Success of that type of program varies, but that was one example of "closing mental health hospitals", because there just isn't enough room and skilled medical staff willing to practice in that environment versus make millions doing cardiac procedures.  But it isn't like doors were locked and treatment abandoned.
