while this should be obvious to anyone who has seen the camps, we still get articles that claim "the obvious answer to homelessness" is just more housing. Of course we need more housing but how do cheaper rents convince addicts to change their lifestyle?

it's the conventional argument that's being brought up all the time while claiming "everyone's ignoring it".
