Progressive cities have tried housing first solutions, yet they have a bigger homelessness problem and it keeps getting worse.

Cities that have done treatment first policies have seen a reduction homelessness.

A great book on this topic is San Fran-sicko. https://www.amazon.com/San-Fransicko-Progressives-Ruin-Citie...

I am in Bay Area and frankly we need to criticize this place more. If you want to read about it, San Fransicko is a great book: https://www.amazon.com/San-Fransicko-Progressives-Ruin-Citie...

I feel like doubling down on the criticism of the place I live (Oakland) just so that we don't set an example of how to manage cities.
