I have known several people who worked with the “homeless” and even an employee who was making $50,000 per year who decided to go homeless. It is not (usually) an issue of money per se. It is drugs, alcohol and mental illness. There have been several experiments of just giving the homeless apartments with furniture and food. They sold the furniture and food for drugs and moved out. The employee I mentioned told people he intended to drink himself to death but he ran out of money before he died. I conclude that more money for Section 8 will make zero impact on the homeless problem.
On the contrary....it should further increase rent prices.
It is tempting to throw more money at this but it will do nothing to stop the drug crisis, which is likely the root cause of all of this.
Mad Black Maxine is proposing an additional valve and piping to funnel money from the treasury into the pockets of corrupt black cronies in LA
That’s where you went wrong. More money to “fight” homelessness INCREASES HOMELESSNESS. As Rush is fond of saying, “If you subsidize something, you get more of it.”
