Yup... the "DoGooders" think they have an answer to affordable housing. I'm sure everybody is wanting to know what the answer is - don't hold your breath because there isn't one.
Homelessness is rampant just about everywhere. We want to blame the lack of "affordable housing" here in California. However, the below picture is of what is known as the homeless encampment of Tent City in Minneapolis. See, they have homelessness, too. Minneapolis is not known for a lack of "affordable housing" so what gives? What are they blaming it on?
I can't help but get a kick out of the teepee on the right. How do they survive in subzero weather? Propane heaters. Yes, they catch fire and they sometimes torch themselves and surrounding tents. Igloos are also surprisingly warm despite being made of ice, and so are ice fishing houses which we would equate with tiny houses.
Go ahead, look up any city online. I don't care where it is - Canada, France, Great Britain, whatever. You will see there's homelessness. There always has been. The poor will always be with us.
