(Sorry for the animosity, I'm angry at the system, not you.)
I'm sort of amused and wondering if some detail failed to communicate effectively.
I've had a class on Homelessness and Public Policy as part of pursuing an unfinished Bachelor's in Environmental Resource Management with a Concentration in Housing as part of a plan to eventually get a Master's in Urban Planning. I've studied housing issues for years, both formally and informally, and I spent years homeless and I'm pretty happy with where I am on the topic and with my efforts to find a path forward.
Nonetheless, it remains challenging to try to effectively communicate with other people who don't have the background knowledge I have and be adequately succinct while effectively making a point. You need to master the lingo and figure out how to side-step language that just causes conversations to go pointlessly sideways and get nowhere and it's still actually hard work to do that.
I spend less time these days trying to talk at internet strangers on public forums (about housing issues/homelessness) and more time trying to flesh out Project: SRO. I think in the long run, that's a more effective use of my time that has some hope of accomplishing something, someday.
