Classic whataboutism.
Multiple issues can exist at once.
What good is having housing if you don't have a job to pay rent?
Plenty of jobs don't require a stable address. It's a small ask to provide a PO box for homeless people.
Unless I'm mistaken, employers specifically avoid employing homeless people, and having a PO box instead of a street address is a pretty strong clue that you're homeless.
you're mistaken. I've had a PO box for 30+ years and maybe 5 different employers in that time period. Admittedly anecdotal but I've never had an employer ask me about the PO box.
I wouldn't expect them to ask you. I'd expect them to ghost you. Interesting to see it isn't always that way.
True, but fixing that is way easier than somehow housing all the homeless people
How do you fix that?
Providing tax breaks to businesses that hire homeless people, off the top of my head.
