What percentage of people with lifelong mental health issues are homeless? What percentage of the housed population has lifelong mental health issues? Should we lock up the ones with houses in asylums too?
No the ones you posted are as disingenuous as posting crime stats to imply that black people are inherently violent. Correlation is not causation and you can’t just look at them in a vacuum.
Without knowing what the baseline for mental health is how do you even know that 80% is statistically significant deviation from the standard population? I can tell you for certain that around 60% of people I’ve met have lifelong drug problems, homeless or not.
Have you been to a section 8 neighborhood? What you’re suggesting would be even worse
Each person needs the help they need…. Some homeless folks just need a break, for sure! I’ve been there myself. Some of them are legit crazy and homeless for a good reason, I’ve lived alongside them and you can’t just give them a home and all is well, they legit need professional help. Putting those folks up in housing alongside the folks that do legit just need a little help will taint the public perception against all of them and screw up a good attempt at solving the issue. We really need a system in place to evaluate these folks and get them the level of help they really need, but that would be socialism and that’s bad so I guess let’s all just keep suffering hahaha
You should probably get a better grasp of statistics before you try to lie with them. Black people are homeless at a rate four times higher than whites, are you going to suggest melanin causes homelessness? Hawaiians experience it at a rate three times higher than black people, what could possibly explain that other than their hawaiianness? Here’s my source, which I note you neglected to provide for your own stats.

Neither of those statistics are relevant to the discussion.
Neither are the ones you posted.
No, the ones I posted show the demographics of the chronically homeless. People who aren’t homeless have nothing to do with the discussion.

What a ridiculous question
Then you should have no trouble providing me with the stats that prove how ridiculous it is.
Sure thing: https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.x7HX2fwG3CyMLgKCNCeQYwHaE9&pid=Api
It doesn’t matter what the general population is. We’re discussing the homeless population.
Your questions are a strawman.
