I agree with you, except that many of those alkies and druggies are self medicating, due to mental health issues. There is a certain number that it is due to bad choices, but many are due to things outside their control.
Mostly druggies and hard core alkies. They aren't victims, they made bad choices in life. enabling them is the worst thing you can do. For those too insane for the street, the street is the last place they need to be. States need to step up but we need to get over the idea that it's wrong to institutionalize people.Sadly, we don't have proper help for the mentally ill here in the US anymore, and that is what many of the homeless suffer from.
