   Scheer argues that the problem has been around long before the recent SCOTUS decision and the elephant in the room for states like California, which Scheer points out is the fifth largest economy in the world, do not use their vast resources to address the problem but rather put the blame on decisions like this and continue their politics that ignore the central issue.
   Pastore agrees, “people who are growing up thinking this is normal, is that this idea that this is intractable, is taking hold and it's not right.”
   The greed in the U.S., where housing is regarded as a private good, strains the ability to attack the roots of the issue.

     Nobody thinks that courts are gonna solve homelessness. The problem with cases like this is that courts can make it a whole lot worse. And this decision's gonna make it worse because this decision greenlights jurisdictions that want to criminalize to go ahead and do that.

     That's gonna put more pressure on jurisdictions like Los Angeles that want to have long-term solutions because we're already doing this in LA.

     The widespread homelessness is an American problem. Legal mechanisms are not put in place to end homelessness. Enlightened politicians with veto proof majorities have not done what it takes to end nimbyism.
