It's a good job they cemented those enormous rocks down so nobody steals them.

Milwaukee WI is very close to best in nation in transitioning the homeless into subsidized housing, medical/mental health care, and then later jobs programs. There was a camp of about 100 outside the county courthouse at the beginning of winter and all except a handful had housing before Christmas. It can be done instead of wasting the money on hostile architecture.

there's a glaring issue in that analysis correlating high homelessness and high vacancies when they declare that low vacancies in the city don't correlate to homelessness rates and therefore are incorrect - which is that homeless tend to congregate toward cities because that's where support services tend to be located, where there are large amounts of passers-by that might give them a couple of coins, and where county officials tend to bus homeless people to juice their stats. homelessness is not merely an overflow problem of too many people in one place, it is a political and logistics problem of why are there so many people in this one place, and you can have all the vacancies you want to solve homelessness it simply won't if the location isn't affordable, accessible, or desirable.

When I'm walking around my town I rip down any signs offering to buy test strips; also "we buy houses 4 ca$h" signs. Because gently caress those vultures.

There's a surprising amount of Medicare fraud related to diabetes test strips. I wouldn't assume that everyone offering to buy them is above board.

There was a period where our insurance lapsed and my Type 1 diabetic wife couldn’t get her test strips for less than $$$$ but they happened to be on sale as a pack-in with a glucometer for way less money. We bought like 6 of those things and just threw them away

Take that LA and New York…how does it feel to be second and third? Eugene city has about 3,000 homeless people ... and about 3,000 vacant housing units. It's less disproportional than other places, but there are enough homes for everyone if that was the priority even in in the worst city in the country for homelessness.
