"In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape. State officials promise large-scale involuntary addiction and mental health treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see 'a prison, or a warehouse'"
Caring for the unhoused, including those with mental illness is complicated, requiring nuanced policy, compassion, and funding. Most cities fail spectacularly in all three aspects. Involuntary roundups of a vilified group? Chilling.
