    Temporary homelessness is financial health. Permanent homelessness is mental health.

    Plot homelessness and government spending on a graph, see if there is any correlation. In fact, plot war, waste, corruption, medical expenses, education on a graph with government spending and see if you see any correlation.

      Or plot homelessness (or anything else) against the Fed's balance sheet.

    I used to live in Ocean beach, San diego, and we had a shop that sold stickers and hats that asked our tourists to please not feed our bums. The homeless in our little Beach town where vacationing homeless, young transients who Would travel to Southern California in order to be homeless because of the comfortable weather and the gullible tourists

    I think we're supposed to call it "unhousedness" now.

    " housing first" makes sense from a very limited perspective-- that it is virtually impossible to accomplish any task of self-improvement or bootstrapping-- *especially* while addicted to substances or mentally ill-- without a safe and stable home.
    So, it is necessary. But that doesn't mean it is sufficient. Just as important as housing is individual responsibility and challenge. You can't just give stuff to people and expect them to improve their lives.
    I'm just addressing the crisis aspect. I'm not addressing the structural economic reforms we must make so that involuntary homelessness is no longer a thing.

      Housing first isn't supposed to be contrasted with treatment first, but shelter first. I haven't finished the podcast yet, but the up to now failure to mention Shellenburger's work is disappointing.
      Basically, the housing first people believe in privacy and the dignity that comes with it, and they think "shelter first" is undignified.
