That….completely misses what im talking about. Even IF you gave them UBI and a rent controlled apt every month, some mentally ill homeless are not of sound mind enough to understand how bills and rent works. Some are just so far gone in their demons that theyd turn that apartment into a drug den and shoot the UBI up their arm. Its sad but true. Elicker had no choice here unless he wanted to turn new haven into skid row or like those areas of philly that look like World War Z.
