It's right there at the very beginning of the article: "Even if drugs, mental illness, etc. do exacerbate homelessness to some extent"
No one is saying it's not a complex problem with many things going on, but a lot of people refuse to acknowledge that the price of housing is a primary driver of homelessness.
- detourdog 3y agoThe repetition of the mantra that 100% of homelessness is lack of having a home must have washed it out of my brain. The people not in the impaired category can make different decisions and have a home. I can't live in Manhattan becuase I think I need at least $10,000,000. I guess I will live somewhere that makes more sense. A big driver I see is the American culture of avoiding intergenerational living.
