Housing First on the West Coast (in addition to Harm Reduction and Support Services) needs to be coupled with a massive expansion of housing and construction so that prices can be brought down to a manageable level.

Homelessness on the west coast doesn't really have much to do with the market pricing of housing, its all about drugs.

Harm Reduction is a sham, its why SF is the way it is.

Simply giving people access to free needles does nothing for the actual problems - unabated drug use.
