There are too many homeless on the streets of American cities, and I wonder how they got there.
I think I was in my late twenties when Governor Engler shut down Michigan’s inpatient mental health centers. Almost immediately I noticed them on the streets.
But what I see in San Diego everyday makes Michigan’s homeless problem feel nonexistent.
Here in San Diego, I have no dought that some of the homeless are mentally ill.
However, I see this as a societal problem, an economic problem, and American society is either callous or clueless to solve it.
It makes me upset to see such a crisis with no end in sight.
Its as if America has lost her soul.
