But the second group can be helped (albeit indirectly) by housing supply loosening - making it easier to build housing makes it easier on subsidized housing and getting more PSH options can help the latter folks.
Yeah, the first group is very likely to be invisible - they’re couch surfing, or sleeping in cars, and showering at gyms. But they’re not on the street pushing a cart and setting up a camp (yet).
I suspect there are levels of homelessness. There are people who are hanging on - they’re hit by a few setbacks (medical bills, lose a job, etc.) and can certainly be helped by ease of housing options.
Then there are people who have fallen out of economic system and housing isn’t a supply issue.

Nice way to wrap-up #weekwithoutdrivingatx
My whip - #weekwothoutdrivingatx
Let's not make science and public healthcare a political football please. . .
Oh, oh, oh. . .I know the answer to this one - call on me, call on me!!!
Because modern "realistic" sound mixing SUCKS.
If dialogue is meant to be heard and understood, then let us hear it.
There's a reason stage actors use stage voices. . .
First we stopped sizing fire trucks to fit normal streets, now we don’t size them to fit in their stations.
‘murica!

I haven’t been this disappointed since The Phantom Menace
Lamest. Cold Front. Ever.
I’m calling it.
In 20 years there will be more working DeLoreans on the road than DepLoreans.
You, the guy walking around in the mid-day sun, with triple digit temps, wearing a sweatshirt hoodie.
WTF is wrong with you?
You can build with cinderblock now and get the same benefits of hurricane and fire protection. So it's not like you can't pay or this already, it's just pricey.
Like any building technique there will be good and bad designs.
There are some downsides - want to make a change, you're breaking concrete walls.
I'm mostly skeptical that there will be significant cost savings. Concrete is expensive - so savings that go to labor might be paid in materials.
Yeah, I remain skeptical that this is anything but a novelty or a specialty product for highly specific circumstances (hurricane, fire, design) and that cost savings won’t bear out. Maybe an incremental evolution, not a revolution.
Is he also renaming it "Avitar"
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
In any case we need large flash flooding to occur if we’re going to ever fill the reservoirs.
Floods are good. And, as it turns out, essential.
Basically, every weather forecaster in this city has the same accuracy of Elon Musk does in predicting tech he’s not going to deliver next year.
If your forecast for torrential downpours isn’t 100% I’m just not believing you at all anymore and I’ll give a 75% discount on that 100% forecast.
My weather alerts have been one giant tease for over a year and I want it to stop.
time and place please. . .
Very excited for the greatest grocery shopping day of the year to commence at 5:30pm.
They call it "Earth."
I know the south extension was a political need - but man, losing North Lamar to 38th is just. . .not great man.
Lakeshore to Waterfront is a huge distance for urban rail line!
