To be fair mental asylums at the time were a fucking horror show

Sure they definitely were!  But there was no plan for an alternative. It was just shut them down and kick them out. They weren't all a horror show and most were actually there for a reason. Now those people that were mentally ill are in prisons which are worse, homeless which is bad for us all, or shot dead by cops because of a misunderstanding.
