Yep a survey put out by a group that gets funding for homelessness no doubt… if Coca Cola put out a study on the benefits of sugar, I’d be similarly skeptical.
And the jobs are probably stealing catalytic converters, stripping copper from light poles, etc.
The homeless in California are on drugs and mentally ill. If they’re not, there are plenty of programs to support them, but if you’re on drugs then yeah you’re never gonna afford rent here… you can’t afford to be a junkie and afford rent on an apartment.
