But Texas also has a large homeless population, despite being tough on crime and drug use, so your proposed solutions are clearly deficient. Conservatives love to pretend that every social problem can be resolved by throwing everyone in jail, but this has been shown over and over again to not only make the problem worse, but also cost more money in the long term. IDK what open carry would do, unless you're proposing armed vigilantes gunning down vagrants in the streets which IMO doesn't sound very "law and order" to me.
- cbeach 3y agoCalifornia has more than FIVE TIMES the rate of homelessness of Texas. https://www.statista.com/statistics/727847/homelessness-rate-in-the-us-by-state/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/727847/homelessness-rate...
