> But 'housing first' is an important insight to consider because when you think about it it makes sense.

And it's a good goal, too. I mean, to achieve that, you'd have to aggressively build apartments, because it's not like we have 50% of flats being empty and people ending up on the street because nobody will take the government's money and rent out apartments. Once you do that appropriately, some of the pressure will be lowered. You'll still end up with some people landing on the streets, but you'll have fewer, because rents are more affordable and especially smaller apartments are being built. Fewer people, smaller problem.

Unfortunately, that might also be why we're not doing it everywhere. For all I can tell, most local governments don't want new housing.

They don't want new housing in specific areas and it's a 100% canard of an issue.

There is tons of space in Cali and no reason whatsover to build cheap housing in the most choice spots. It's ideology.

Just get the housing built.

LA County and Cali in general seems to be incompetent on the level of corruption in many ways which is sad.

And FYI state shoud be sharing this problem, moving individuals into already built housing in different states.
