Yup, that's why Houston with it's "we couldn't even begin to care" zoning laws has solved homelessness.

It’s partly the reason they’ve decreased their homeless population by 54% since 2011, yes.

I’d probably point to the concerted efforts between the housing authorities and the regional VA office that, with combined HUD & VA funding, essentially ended homelessness among veterans in the city first though.

Kinda unfair to compare them to other American cities tbh, it’s always easier to do stuff like this when you can actually build.
