Yeah and even here we hear stats like 33% have serious mental illness, 20-40% have drug issues, etc. I'd bet those figures are even more skewed if we look at the long term homeless populations. But it's true, we really do have to get more housing and the biggest problems there are permitting, NIMBY issues and inflation driving up costs. Ideally we'd work on all significant contributors to homelessness at the same time, though.
