Great pic's for oldies. I'm currently into 1 hundred yearold pic's. Fascinating.

Remoman Loc: Someplace Remote Near LA
 
In southern California, many live under freeway bridges or in hillside brush or in river washes.
They are mostly dismissed or ignored.
Many are vets with PTSD.
For many of these men and women, the closest thing to treatment is jail or prison.
Many wonder why mental health treatment is so minimal in this country.
I remember back when Regan was governor of California, he shut down the California mental hospitals and we had a massive influx of people to the streets.

I think all the major psychiatric hospitals were politically closed years ago. I understand that present guidelines prohibit more than 12 (?) mental patients being confined to any one area.
The fear of being sent to a mental institution was very real years ago, for those who couldn't get along in society.
