Maybe, but if they can’t, I’m not blaming the city leaders. The homeless population, how do you win? Mental health, how do you win? It’s a no-win situation,” he confessed. “Can they do better? Probably, but I definitely can’t blame anybody for not fixing a problem that nobody can fix across the country.”
