Republicans, Democrats, and Independents need to come together to look at the causes of homelessness and work on fixing that. If there are not enough units let's look at ways to change zoning codes to allow more housing to be built, if its economic conditions let's look at funding more job training programs or if its more money for mental health services lets fund that. In today's climate we need to make tough decisions for the greater good. We cannot keep on pushing the can down the road. Unfortunately, in today's society we do things that are easy not what is hard, even though many issues surrounding poverty and homelessness need hard decisions to be made. Everyone needs to sacrifice from homeowners, businesses, and general public. I know people are going to comment to this post with something political and blaming someone, I get that, but before you comment provide a solution that both sides of the table will agree upon. If it's something radical that only one side will agree upon unfortunately in today's climate its Dead on Arrival.
