Nah, involuntary psych hold definitely needs lower standards to help address the mental health crisis.

We’ve got a plan for most homelessness via housing first plans, but for folks that are homeless because they just can’t function for themselves we do genuinely need improved involuntary hold infrastructure.

We also need vastly improved care facility infrastructure for people who are docile but for whatever reasons medically or mentally incapable of surviving on their own and who don’t have family capable of providing for them.

You know the system’s broken when a common threat to coerce or emotionally attack elders is to put them in an elder care facility.
