In the case of homelessness…

We’ve learned both that if you …

1) provide free housing people will use it

2) fine/jail people for camping on the street and in parks it works as a deterrent

Why not both?

I feel lazy right now but feel free to find your own sources for the points above. The jailing one is from a study done in the Nordic states…last I remember.
