    Problem, the homes are getting full. The solution: Build more homes? Too complex.

      The big issue I see is states that don’t want to implement social housing programs just shipping their unhousedpeoples to states that do and overwhelming the systems created.

        I live in Chicago, one of the locations that many migrants are being shipped to, but even here the city refuses to build additional housing, or even use it’s Department of Housing to fund the refurbishing of it’s hundreds of units of dilapidated housing. Ultimately if the solution doesn’t enrich someone with money, it isn’t something that will ever happen in most of the world.
