  • People who slip by a day and just keep a mess tend to have support networks. If they’re employed, they’re not likely to get thrown in a mental health section in NY. Plus, again, this is New York, not Texas or Florida. Consider the context here. There’s a lot of homeless people in the City who refuse care and get washed through the system. They aren’t getting held in jail, but they’re racking up fines, putting them further behind and worse off. Mandatory care is needed for some people. And we can’t write laws to cover the corner cases without risking overreach.
