I would absolutely love a source on that one, still not a great look to disregard safety and life so nonchalantly

    Are you saying I'm disregarding their lives somehow? If so I think you are adding your own interpretation to my comment.

    Regarding the data, I don't recall where I first read that. But here's what I found from google. Obviously the new numbers will vary greatly by location. And it doesn't exactly support what I said because this just specifies homeless, not their mental state.
