As Richmond grows, the homeless population grows too. This happens everywhere, yet cities can't seem to see it coming (one can assume why). There is virtually no realistic strategy to house low income people in this country. They get displaced and then face a tremendous uphill battle to get back to stability. Then we just ignore and look down on them.

displaced over and over again. We have agencies that drive folks to the next county over.

The answer to take a bite out of the homeless population is SROs. As well as building more housing.

Capitalism baby! The more challenging times get, the more you see homeless to scare you into working to death. Lived in Seattle for 8 years, and 3rd street was insane!
