They need to change the legal standard for involuntary commitment to a psych ward. At present, the standard is that as long as the patient is not a danger to others, they are allowed to roam the streets at will. I think a better standard is to broaden it to where if they can't take care of themselves, they can be involuntarily committed. That used to be called "vagrancy" and was a crime. I would find some middle road where it is not a crime, but a civil order.
