@Noahpinion fascinating. i've seen a number of "positive" results i didn't believe. have you dug in enough to tell whether i should believe this one? matches my intuition that homelessness usually has more to do with underlying mental problems than access to opportunity

@cremieuxrecueil I'm happy about this, but I think we got lucky with Musk. Lots of work to do to keep things going - we need like 5 more Musks all working on nuclear, manufacturing, robotics, semiconductors, and AI.

@votesocialist24 US homeless population is 0.2% of the total population. the article you cite says it grew 12% *relative* to prior year. total homeless folks number 650K out of 330MM ie 0.2% total.... this is particularly sloppy, even for socialists.

@Noahpinion is this true? thieves come here from 10-20 miles away, why would they not go a block uphill? there's lots of break-ins at twin peaks - i might guess it's more that rich neighborhoods hire private security - but lmk if i'm mistaken!
