Are we getting into a homelessness argument again?
Honda, I hate to tell ya, but homelessness is worse off writ-large everywhere nowadays. You should see the homelessness issue down here in Texas, these people are everywhere, if anything they look WORSE off and more sketchy down here due to the lack of support systems in this good ol' red state.
You can talk to the most ardent Republican down here and they'll all tell you the homeless issue has gotten worse here in the last 5 years, and this has always been a red state. If Texas has major homeless issues nowadays, how can that be based on progressive/lefty policies?
The red herring here is the cost of housing and inflation, COVID poured gasoline on the problem and here we are.
We need to stop acting like this is some left vs right issue, it isn't. This is a problem spurred by the haves taking from the have nots. The last election was all about this, 1 and 3 workers (34%) are living paycheck to paycheck, that tumultuous slide from being housed to on the street is prescient nowadays. We've whittled down the middle class based on ridiculous neoliberal and conservative economic policies, and here we are.
I truly reiterate this outcome is not about the left or the right and the sooner we as a whole recognize that, perhaps we'll see actual improvements to this problem.
