Yes!  Of course the mentally ill homeless are much better off  roaming the street of Eugreen than in an institution of some kind.  Mumbling, cursing, yelling at traffic and arguing with themselves while in in "effluent" stained filthy, smelly, clothing and generally scaring the bejesus out of the the public they encounter downtown.   Urinating and defecating in the flower pots downtown, sleeping in an alley somewhere near 11th and Jefferson in the rain, that's a much better life than sleeping in clean sheets in a mental hospital while receiving the meds you need.
