For Christ's sake, give them and all Americans a guaranteed income so we never have to sleep in the streets. We do that much for convicted criminals.

You'll pay for their shelter, but only if it's in the form of involuntary commitment?

A photograph of a single instance 125 years ago. That certainly proves that homelessness was rampant.
