The parent of my comment was claiming that it is a solved problem everywhere outside of the US. My claim is simply that it is far from solved, and if someone thinks homelessness is "solved" in the EU, I can only assume they haven't been there.
You're saying it's worse in SF/Berkeley, and no doubt it is. But it's not "solved" in the EU.
- david927 9y agoThat was me. I said, "Homelessness induced by mental health challenges" was solved in every other OECD country -- and it's true. In those countries there are programs to make sure people with significant mental health issues, especially those which would lead to homelessness, are placed in special care. I've spent 20 years living in various countries in Europe. I stand by my statement.
