>there needs to be a massive initiative at the federal level.

What would that look like to you?

You feel that people in proximity to you owe you attention and money?

Not sure I fully understand though do appreciate the communication.

>But it can't really be _fully_ solved. In any case there will be people who simply refuse the responsibility of being a proper adult and _choose_ to live under a bridge.

Do you think humans have agency and can choose or ?

>If you give everyone houses, it relieves pressure from the housing system which causes rents to go down.

Care to explain your logic around this statement?

>homelessness will never be solved

Interesting. Question: do you think that if all of a sudden a wand was waved and everyone homeless in a given city/geography was magically housed that there would still be (eventually, over time) further homelessness or do you think that homelessness would cease to exist from that point forward? What do you think would happen in say, 5-10-15 years out?

> I’ve been homeless and slept on the bus or subway to stay warm (and safe) and not once did someone try to help me.

The way in which you wrote this could be misinterpreted, so any clarification would be welcome: did you then or do you now feel as though someone is obligated to help you? If so, who and in what ways?
