Let me know if you come up with a solution.Â* I sure don't have one --
at least one that doesn't sound like something out of the Old

The solution would be our country becoming more conservative. Work
requirements for welfare, less unconditional free stuff, and so on.
The difference in the rate of homelessness in liberal versus
conservative states is striking and Oregon looks worse than even
California (which I hadn't thought was possible).

Nevada is kind of an exception, probably because a lot of hermits and
loners live there. They chose that lifestyle and the low amount of
regulations and little enforcement allows them to spend their days
baking in a dilapidated trailer out in the desert.

The other solution is to starve the beast (big government). High tax
states make housing so expensive that too many people are forced to
drop out into the streets. California is a prime example of that. Try
getting a building permit out here, let alone pay for it. Socialism
does not work.

I've looked for data proving that conservative politics cures
homelessness. I haven't found it yet. Give me a link if you have one.


I just did in my answer to Jay.

It's hard to have an intelligent conversation with a person who doesn't
understand what "data" is.

One clue, Joerg: If it's published under the heading "opinion" it
probably doesn't contain much scientific data. Quoting a few percentages
isn't enough.
