I didn’t know that, but I do know that homelessness isn’t just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn’t be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.
And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.
Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn’t work for all.

Yeah, but that would crash the airbnb market. Please remember to think of the shareholders
fuck airbnb. rents have tripled here with so many apartments and homes taken off the market and turned into untaxed and unlicensed hotel rooms.

Oh I’m aware! Sheltering in the WH may speed up housing!
Are the houses where the homeless people are?
