Why can't we solve the problem rather than sweep it under the carpet?

Because it doesn't fit with the neoliberal right

NZ spends nearly half a billion dollars on homelessness. That number has been steadily increasing. Please look into global empirical evidence. California spent $20B on homelessness and the rate doubled. Now they are blocking audits into where the money went.

As I said, asylums and harsher sentencing for vagrant criminals. That would solve 75% of the issue, less than the 93% estimated by the US DEA

The politics you and others on the right here endorse are a major cause of homelessness.

Complex problems require intelligent empathic solutions.

Well nothing is happening so the status quo stays.

The problem is they aren't getting help and homelessness is getting more. Wellington 15 years ago was essentially blanket man and a couple of others. There are heaps now.

Neoliberalism.
