St. Louis County has a gun violence rate 4x higher than the Bronx. This is the reality. This is what a 20+ year Republican supermajority has done to our state.

There is probably no drug or therapy treatment that will help stabilize the mental health of unwell people living on the streets like giving them a private safe place to call home.
