The crisis we refuse to see

With leading academics, robust activists, health, housing and nutrition experts, as well as the homeless people themselves all living side by side, it is astounding that no sensible conversation is taking place to solve the problem of homelessness.

There are plenty of kneejerk interventions, NIMBY bylaws and grandiose failures that have seen taxpayers’ money spent ad nauseam, religious groups offering their blessings and media statements made, while the actual homeless people are a sideshow to this orgy of self-righteous ineptitude.
