Why not just make housing cheaper to build? Zoning, building codes, permits, environmental regs, etc...none of these need apply to single family homes..and people could build a tin shack...there ya go...americans think the vast favelas of latin america are a horror show, but if you watch youtube videos of westerner youtubers who go in them and report, it's really a good place to live...
- tootie 4y agoI'm guessing you didn't read it because the deregulation that lead to the boom in single-family housing is cited as a cause of massive homelessness. Shifting to multi-family would do way more to increase housing supply and be environmentally beneficial.
- cgriswald 4y agoThis is like being rich and trying out homelessness for a month. No matter how authentic you try to make your experience, you know you can always go home at any time and in any real emergency you've got a lot more options than the average homeless person. I would want to hear ideally from people who actually lived there and now live in other places. These are the people that know the truth about what it is like and also have a basis for comparison. A person of unknown journalistic integrity editing a series of interview of locals on his tax-break vacation who is incentivized by view counts isn't compelling.

- qgin 4y agoTFW your system is so cutthroat that the idea of helping anyone feels like a slap in the face to people who made it through the gauntlet.
