It's a failure in most of Canada too, every successive provincial government decides to slash it's budget or 'reorganize' community care to the point it's just a weak pill dispensing model with no oversight and thus you get mentally ill in the street at all hours running wild with drug and alcohol addictions.

That or some kind of accountability where we are able to personally sue politicians who have turned our cities into poorly run asylums.
