Not every homeless person has mental health issues. And most probably those with mental health issues _because_ they are homeless.

Rounding all the homeless up into an asylum is just sweeping the problem under the carpet.



Asylums, historically, were just a way to jail more "undesirables" in a way that isn't legally a jail. Some definitely started with good intentions, but they all tend to morph into jails.
