Because the people who ARE helped are no longer taxing the system, and can provide help for the others

You have no data to support that claim.

If you disagree with official estimates, then provide alternative data

I don't disagree with the official estimates, I think the categories they've created don't accurately reflect the number of people without places to stay on a regular basis.

I don’t care about your anecdotes, come play with data

And it doesn't

Ok, so obviously if you alleviate housing prices it decreases homelessness

I don't care about your data when it's arbitrarily decided if you have no disability, or if you've found a temporary housing situation, you don't count as chronically homeless

Shocked that I have to say that

Do you have data for how many people that is?

Yes, you’ve made it clear you don’t care about data

Just you work with some people so you feel strongly that economics doesn’t work.

And you misread what it says about disabilities

Homeless in and out of housing are consider cyclically homeless, they are not counted as transitionally homeless

I didn't say anything about economics not working, I just said it's unlikely to alleviate homelessness in a sufficient way, and it does nothing to directly improve the conditions homeless people are living in. Believing Warren's solution of rent reduction is sufficient when it does nothing to improve job opportunities for the unsheltered, it does nothing to ensure housing for the unsheltered, and it generally doesn't sufficiently address how you transition people out of homelessness

That’s a housing plan, not a homelessness plan.

It will certainly help people who have an income, but the strata of the homeless without incomes, are not benefitting

I know

Ok, you’re just flexing

Cool, I agree.

BUt you presented it in the context of it as a democratic candidates plans to deal with homelessness

To a republican

Not as a holistic plan to deal with homelessness

But the target here is salient

*At least it does something*

I'd just like to see democratic candidates address homelessness directly as opposed to discussing housing plans which tangentially may have a positive affect on the homeless.

Lots of people do something. The Trump Administration and state-level republicans do-something

But it's not addressing the problem holistically, and they're not discussing it because I don't think they're prepared to talk about the steps which need to be taken to holistically eliminate homelessness

Democratic care more about impeachment and welfare rather than help the homeless.

And we’re back

back again

Shady's back

Tell a friend

As ineffective as I find Democrats to be on homelessness, at least they suggest and implement attempts at solutions. Republicans flat out lie about wanting to implement programs, or admit they're fine with the existence of a homeless population in the wealthiest country on the planet @!GoldenKingship!

I think trump is getting impeached

So this Kurd stuff

Yes probably he is

sorry guys

Do you think he did this Kurd stuff on his own

the dems are too powerful

the deep state cant be stopped
