Why is the choice always to do one thing poorly, or nothing? “Housing first” shouldn’t mean housing without other services. Why do I get the sense that the reaction will eventually be to stop funding the housing because it’s not working, in

The west coast cities are simultaneously too progressive to support punitive action, yet too “American” to pay for adequate solutions via wealth redistribution. We do spend a lot of money on combating homelessness already, so I get the frus
