There's not a lot of evidence that homelessness and mental health welfare will generate net positive tax revenue. Ever met someone on anti-psychotics? They go through the rest of their life barely able to grasp new concepts with a drug specifically designed to mute that part of their brain, alongside the side effects on their relatively short-lived organs being poisoned by the same drug cocktail.

Yes, I meet very many people who take a variety of anti-psychotic meds.

This describes a few of them, but not most of them.

Those needing anti-psychotics are a small subset of the population I mentioned.
