    I agree, we should be providing these things, but you need a magic wand to get them done. To think it’s simple, easy, or straightforward to combat homelessness isn’t helpful because every solution requires money, time, physical space in amounts that are nearly unimaginable.

    To start, find money, time, and space to house 60,000 people in Los Angeles that need local access to unique healthcare and, due to their circumstances, require unique security services too.

    Now consider that Los Angeles can barely create a single housing situation at a metro stop without years of planning and lawsuits.

    I will always vote and support opportunities to fix this problem but I’m well aware that society may never be able to fix it beyond a few percentage points.
