  • Cool, and do you know that the ones that this new process is going to use aren't mental health professionals? The change is specifically so untrained police officers with guns aren't being sent in to mental health emergencies because they acknowledge that they are not what is needed.

  • Cool, so you found what.....6 people who might possibly be gay or like some strange stuff? And that then means that all "right-wingers" are the same? So if I was to find say 6 instances of a left-winger being a pedo, does that mean that all left-wingers are pedos?

  • There are no mental health professionals that arrive on the scene. It could be EMT, firefighters, or police that initiate contact. None of the above are mental health professionals.

    THIS IS PART OF THE CHANGES THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE lol.

    I didn’t suggest that people are locked up for “simply for missing their rent”. Never once did I suggest people are locked up permanently.

    Ah youre right, sorry that's the other delusional person in here making the same arguments as you.

  • A first responder is dispatched and kidnaps them.

    This right here is why this is going nowhere. What you think happens and what actually happens are two very different things. This should have been apparent that it was not worth my time when you suggested that people would be locked up in a mental institution permanently simply for missing their rent.

    A first responder is not a psychiatrist or able to diagnose somebody in such an environment.

    And this new thing that you're arguing in a comments section about aims to change that. This will change the first responders to being unarmed mental health professionals instead of armed police.

    I’ve answered this in abundance. Re-read.

    Ok cool so your solution is for the entire world to change to be something completely different, and for their mental illness to be just gone. In other words, it's not a solution and you have no actual solution or answer to my question. Not all mental illness is caused by the environment around the person. Most of it isn't.

    So I'll ask again but even more narrow in scope - what do you suggest the government do, with society and the world the way it is, with people that are severely mentally ill and homeless who refuse all help?

  • The state of New York could buy these homes and use them to re-home individuals placed into them or repurpose them.

    Sure, if the people that own them wanted to sell them.

    Or build new, affordable housing.

    But many of these people couldn't afford "affordable housing", so it would need to be free. Food would need to be free, electricity would need to be free, water, internet, etc would all need to be free (for them, but paid for by taxpayers). Also where is the new affordable housing being built, and who is paying for it?

    Are you seriously arguing for renting and no social safety net?

    Huh? The point was that using YOUR scenario, people could easily abuse the system to simply get free housing/food/etc by missing a rent payment and getting taken away and given a free house/food/etc.
