Universal Basic Income

62. I'm not familiar with the Utah program

I have to look into, but Utah isn't one of the most populated States and people their probably have a higher medium income so not as many homeless as other States.


I think we already know the blue print for addressing the homelessness crisis. We've done it before. Going to take public housing and mean traditional public housing also called housing projects and some refer to it as section 9. We have lost 100 of thousands of public housing stock sense 1994. We had public house stock at 1994 levels. We could house over half the U.S. homeless population. If we put just 1 person in each unit let alone entire families. If we decided to do more of them to account for increased population we could probably solve almost all homelessness. Section 8 or vouchers were republican ideas there better then nothing, but absolute failures compared to the success of public housing projects. Housing projects were by no means perfect, but it's the best alternative that has precedent. Rich people scammed poor people out of public housing with propaganda, lies and misinformation. Told tenet's they could live in the new apartment they built. Didn't happen. Told everyone neighborhoods would be better, because projects cause crime. Well so do mass homeless encampments. All a campaign of misinformation just so big real estate firms could get their hands on the properties they sat on. Sometimes they built new apartments not for the tenet's of the projects though, and sometimes they just let those properties sit vacant for decades.
