[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Using 2018 statistics from the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, DC has a 38x higher rate of chronic homelessness than Indiana. California has almost a 13x higher rate of chronic homelessness than Indiana. I don't know where the ICPH is getting its info. Not seeing much evidence here of "reduced homelessness in many urban areas", thus our discussion of their impact on libraries. I have an idea. Have DC, Maryland and Virginia adopt and enforce Indiana's public intoxication laws for two years. Let's see if the libraries become useful again. [/quote] It seems to me that policies that address mental illness, addiction, and homelessness would be a more effective and cost-effective use of public money than incarcerating people who are mentally ill, addicted, or homeless. And better for libraries, too.[/quote]
