The obvious way to reconcile “the primary driver of American homelessness is housing prices, not addiction” with “the homeless people in my city are largely addicts” is that the first to be displaced by rising housing prices are the most economically marginal yet not previously homeless residents, who were disproportionately addicts
“To explain the interplay between structural and individual causes of homelessness, some who study this issue use the analogy of children playing musical chairs. As the game begins, the first kid to become chairless has a sprained ankle. The next few kids are too anxious to play the game effectively. The next few are smaller than the big kids. At the end, a fast, large, confident child sits grinning in the last available seat.
You can say that disability or lack of physical strength caused the individual kids to end up chairless. But in this scenario, chairlessness itself is an inevitability: The only reason anyone is without a chair is because there aren’t enough of them.”
Jerusalem Demsas is so based. Plugged into american Econtwitter she’s the best itw at leaundering economist deregulation speak to make it palatable for libs. Regulatory capture is the biggest hole in the progressive conception of problems and solutions, hopefully she can help solve that problem!
Jerusalelas Demsas is a she?
Believable but not immediately obvious.
Yeah she’s on twitter as @JerusalemDemsas . Don’t know why her being a girl is surprising though.
Never got that vibe apprenticing for Yglesias.
