Reply to comment by [deleted] in New York City homeless problem by Accomplished-Lime806

But given the population difference between the two countries, Finland actually had a higher proportion of homeless before this (using the numbers you provided, I didn't confirm them), so I'd say they're doing something quite right.

Comparing the two countries is not possible because the US and it's scale are not comparable. Even with proportionality making sense, it isn't a priority in the legislature.

There we agree, and I think that's much more relevant than the population (overall and/or homeless). The government here just doesn't care.
