Will someone tell me why we can’t get this freak off the streets?

I was walking back from the gym yesterday along Grand Avenue, approaching the big intersection at Harrison Street, when I saw this guy whom I’ve seen before, in the same general area. He was dressed in rags, wandering in and out of traffic in the middle of Grand Avenue, totally tweaked, gesturing wildly, ranting and cursing. When cars stopped at the light, he would walk up to them, bang on the windows; drivers were trying to avoid hitting him.
