New York has higher rates of homelessness than West Virginia.
The part of Oregon where I live has a pretty extreme climate, and has way too much homelessness.

- jonwachob91 2y agoDid you not read the part of my comment were I clarified "cities without major homeless shelter capabilities"? New York has major cities that have the infrastructure and resources to shelter homeless populations during major cold events. Plenty of Northern CITIES have those capabilities, but WV doesn't. WV doesn't have a single major city and doesn't have the capabilities to shelter a homeless population during major cold events.
- davidw 2y agoCold and services are both covered in the article. Here's the section on 'policy' (shelters and such) https://www.noahpinion.blog/i/106265050/claim-homelessness-is-a-progressive-policy-problem https://www.noahpinion.blog/i/106265050/claim-homelessness-i...
- FireBeyond 2y agoI'm willing to bet that WV police have a less 'tolerant' attitude towards homelessness, even "non-problematic", and very a much a "move along/gtfo of our town" attitude.
