>And do you really think the big cities can solve this problem on their own without regional support? Absolutely agree with you here. I think regional, even national initiatives are the real way to tackle this. Cities, as you correctly point out, bear the brunt of homelessness' impact. I don't think they can solve this alone. There is hope that states can act. California just passed a $4 billion bond for housing veterans[1]. I hope the political will can be carried nationally, but have little faith in the current administration. They've already acted negligently, putting people using the GI housing benefit at risk[2]. I hope they face real blowback from this, but it's only one in a litany of scandals and failures at that level. 1. https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Housing_Programs_and_Veterans%27_Loans_Bond_(2018) https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Housing_Pr... 2. https://www.npr.org/2018/11/17/668953517/computer-glitch-leaves-thousands-of-veterans-waiting-on-education-housing-paymen https://www.npr.org/2018/11/17/668953517/computer-glitch-lea...
