> This entire discussion is absurd to me. You’ve got politicians burning money, some people talking about housing as if they have a “right” to a house (that is: a right to force people like me to build them a house at gunpoint), and still surging homelessness.
Isn't US homelessness mostly an issue of drug addiction and lack of mental health care? What percentage of US homeless do not fall into one of those categories?
For the visible homeless the percentage is high, but there are a lot of people living in their cars or on a friend's couch who just can't afford housing.
