They did. And I’m sure any plan will run into problems and issues, but that’s no reason not to try it! They also firmly believed that houses are the only real solution to homelessness, ignoring that some homeless people dislike the confines of solid walls, some don’t want or are incapable of dealing with normal homeownership maintenance, some aren’t in financial stability enough to manage a home that comes with monthly costs. Some would really benefit from small houses! There are other solutions out there for each of these situations, but we are unwilling to try small steps because we incorrectly perceive them to be half steps.
