Reply to comment by Evening_Presence_927 in New York’s Plan to Address Crisis of Mentally Ill Faces High Hurdles by CactusBoyScout

What system? The city doesn't make mental health problems. With varying degree, everyone has some degree of mental health issues but the most troublesome are the drug addicted and homeless. You can't throw enough money at the problem for it to fix itself.

But that’s the problem. The plan is the system I’m talking about. The hospital system doesn’t have the ability to provide long-term care for these individuals, so they’ll more likely than not end up back in the street.
