I always like how everyone points to someone else and says its someone else's problem. Last time I visited Amazon I found the area pretty disturbing, I mean the amount of homeless people you pass on the way to Amazon - sad. If you live or work their you are part of the problem and solution. Most likely you are in a much more privileged situation then others, so your help and involvement would be needed - some magic federal government will not solve this for you. So you should think how you can solve it, that includes corporations also.

My help comes in the form of taxes I pay. I'm willing to pay more if it means people get housed.

If you have a solution that's been more effective than government social welfare, public housing and saner zoning in, say, Western Europe, I'd love to read about it.
