I think that the “housing firsters” have their hands in the cookie jar. Perhaps they are absconding with the monies that were intended to ensconce people in housing. Just a thought on the motivations and incentives behind what is going on on the west coast.

Over and over again you see this. Someone is rigging the system to build expensive housing to "fix" it instead of letting the market correct itself.

Well, there is another way to state the problem, reframe it, if you will. The cronies of the state that profit from the ill gotten gains of taxation prefer to have their building projects state financed so they can rake off the profits privately. If said like that, you can see the problem and solutions more clearly.

Yep.
Honestly those that work in the state on homelessness have a greater incentive to NOT fix the problems but appear to look like they are trying.

Yes, that way they can get more money to get more staffing beneath them and get raises for doing a whole lot of nothing.
