    They stopped doing this several years ago, actually. Then they bulldozed the largest shelter in the state at the behest of developers without building anything to replace it. Now homelessness is worse than ever, mostly concentrated in Salt Lake City. It’s been really sad to see it worsen over the last few years.

    Salt Lake City is painfully transitioning from weird backwater to gentrified playground, similar to other western cities like Portland and Denver.

      I take back any and all positive things I have ever said about the snakepit state of Utah.

        It’s really upsetting that they did away with that program, because like you said, it actually worked and put a lot of people in homes.

      Ugh, gentrification. Somehow I need to be punished for living in a place that rich people think is "chic". Proving once again :porky-happy: can be a thief while paying for something.
