I see a blatant mental illness problem, which leads to drugs and lastly, homelessness. These people would just turn free apartments into crack dens and throw themselves off balconies.
You need mental hospitals and you need to revise the culture at a foundational level.
Clearly, there is not enough social security or promotion of nuclear family. The dysfunction is instilled at an early age, in school then promoted throughout the years. These people gave up to clown world as kids. The demographic is young, in their 20's and early 30's. Poverty alone does not breed this much dysfunction. Why don't you see this many defunct addicts on the streets of India, a place far poorer with far fewer resources to go around?
This is a cultural failure. These people choose to be this way because society told them from the day they were born; "it's ok to be different. It's a virtue to be the victim. These are all positive things you should strive for."
