There is plenty of evidence for why nature and solitude are valuable for mental health. Now it seems that a lack of biodiversity in the environment is creating immunity deficiencies in children based on scientific discoveries.
Sadly the unwillingness to actually pay for the kinds of social changes that would address the mental health aspects of homelessness have created civil unrest and anger, mostly at liberal urban politicians. “We want those bums off of our streets.” The result, of course, as it always is with the helplessly ignorant, is to become desperate to apply any old solution that comes to hand. This means padding the buck via laws that require local governments to build more housing regardless of the local wishes, as if people will not fight to protect what they have.
Homelessness is a problem like a million others that can only be solved by a social revolution that improves the quality of life for everybody rather than dragging some down to benefit others.
Without a revolution in conscious awareness stasis is the result.
