      The same principle applies - public housing would reduce the number of unhoused, meaning that you wouldn’t run into them at parks, and I advocate for it even though I personally have never had a problem with them.

        Hey I’m all for building more affordable housing. I’m just pointing your that nothing official has been stopping this solution for decades, but nothing has been done to curb the problem. Articles like this don’t address the reality of the situation. Articles like this is just a virtue signaling for the voter base. Everybody will node their little heads and move on with their day. The same people get elected and then … nothing. Me and 90 percent of poor housed city dwellers will continue to suffer the consequences. Mark my word this is the issue that might turn blue city cores into red zones. Honestly Dems are just so lucky that Republicans screwed up with abortion rights otherwise they wouldn’t have my votes either.
