And it’s not even a “we just need to spend the money” thing either, because housing homeless people costs less than letting them live on the streets. This is something that any level of government can solve if they just choose to. The federal government could do it by just using the money printer but also any broke local government can solve homelessness as a cost cutting measure.
but then how will we justify the giant police departments cities have, and how will we justify their primary function, which is buying off the most violent morons to the side of the capitalists so they don't make trouble?
