Good luck with that one. We’ve been dealing with this since the 70s when Prop 13 passed in California. The primary responses have been to vilify the homeless for their own plight and funnel billions into “affordable housing schemes” that are little more than graft engines for local politicians.

Folks in Berkeley pretending they’re progressive while fighting housing initiatives for instance. It’s becoming a nightmare fueled by pure greed.
