I've visited. Your state is a shithole with some walled gardens and towers of gold. Your streets smell of piss and worse, there are tents everywhere people can get one up without the cops immediately coming over to throw them out. And that's how you intend to keep it, because you have no interest in housing the unworthy.
What you have are a lot of programs with a lot of names that are supposed to sound like they do something. You have a lot of things to mention.
What you don't have are results, or an interest in getting results.
I live in Norway. I know what a democracy with solid welfare should look like, even when it's never perfect.
I also know why you're not getting the results you should:
You don't believe you should make it THAT easy to just not be homeless. You simply don't believe in just paying to build the buildings and handing out the keys. It's not the way you want to solve it.
So, when all is said and done, and another decade has passed; You stilll won't have solved it and you likely still won't want to solve it.
You said it yourself.
You're from fucking Norway, of course your standard of living is way better than anywhere in the US. It all sucks over here, but California is marginally better, which to Americans is leagues better than other states. It's sad, we are forced to fight for Breadcrumbs. The town I live in in Oregon has the highest amount of homeless people per capita. Other states and cities may not because they bus homeless people to partocular cities in California and in Oregon, or throw them in jail. Homelessness is a US issue.
