This sentence:

>We're still there. My 5 state institutions are dangerous hellholes. Homeless are everywhere here.

Implies that "Homeless are everywhere here" wouldn't be the case if the institutions were good. I disagree. I believe that if the institutions were good there would still be homeless people, unless somebody declares to be living on the streets to be a mental condition that warrants forced institutionalization.



A->B =/= B->A.

OPs view is that lack of MI (A) results in homelessness (B). You're taking that further and making the argument that the existence of homelessness (B) implies lack of good institutions (A) - an argument OP didn't make.
