By your logic, expecting me-a writer and former journalist-to come up with policy solutions that social workers, aid workers, homeless advocates and politicians should normally conceive and implement makes as much a sense as expecting a passenger on airplane to take over steering the aircraft once the pilot winds up incapacitated.

I note again that the piece was not a binary problem-solution piece but an analysis of how the issue and reality of homelessness is created, shaped and thus promoted. Nothing more, nothing less.

You want solutions? Talk to your state legislator or city or county council member.
Otherwise, I will have to give your post a "0"
