The feds are culpable. The only reason Carson didn't defund HUD in the first place is because someone explained to him how social programs are great tools to funnel taxes into the Bigs (property/banking/insurance/pharma/government). It always makes me think of the Nixon tapes where someone explained exactly this concept to Nixon regarding HMOs.

the same thing they are doing everywhere else to end homelessness? Jack Sh9t

Feds won't do shit but the cuts under Reagan were way worse than anything prior. Nixon really began the public housing dismantling process but as this history points out - a good complement to WRAP's already great analysis - the idea and implementation of public housing were at best always compromised in the US of Profit. The real estate industry and their bought and sold political lackeys are wholly to blame: www.thenation.com/article/give-us-shelter/

In Bogota, Columbia the police pushed 2,000 - 3,000 houseless people into a channel (river) to displace them from an area in the city. Still they rise. Still they organize.
