1. $ 1 billion/yr would end ALL homelessness |

Gates has 50 B
At 10% total market return, he gets Five billion income/yr.
So just 20% of the income of ONE millionaire would
end ALL homelessness forever.
--------------------- Based on "hmslss die at three times normal rate" and excluding the sizeable percent of those entering hmlsnss who were weak at entry.....and based on one million hmlss on any one night....
Then one finds that about
10 000/ month die from the effects of hmlssnss. Ten thousand.
The heat, cold, rat bites, crime, stress, disease, lack of sleep, feces-urine-plus-flies in the area, no safe way to store any medicine once they fall ill, no way to refrigerate meds that need it, etc. ------------
RR's cut of 2/3's of housing rent aid in the early '80's caused the beginning of the first mass hmlssnss since the Great Depression.
Blame shifters try to blame other things, but bottom line is...no matter how messed up a person is...from other things....., rent aid will give 99% of them shelter.
