You’ve had fifty years to work on it and made no progress.

This is exactly the “few more tens of millions of dollars and a few hundred more well intentioned social workers” argument I predicted.

I certainly haven’t seen my preferred solution, just building them houses, done for fifty years. Sure sounds like you’re asserting that my preferred plan hasn’t worked despite it not having been tried at all and therefore asserting that the only choice is your plan.

What I’ve seen is fifty years of increased incarceration, police spending, and soaring housing prices.
