▶️ WATCH on YouTube This time, author, journalist, environmentalist, and former gubernatorial candidate Michael Shellenberger joins me on the FORBIDDEN CONVERSATIONS podcast to talk about “homelessness” as well as a bit of TwitterFiles discourse thrown in for good measure. We discuss the real problems, ethical and practical challenges, as well as potential solutions.
I'd like to add this link that someone brought to my attention here: https://t.co/J7aH4NR3ox
The argument the author seems to be making is in regards to visible homelessness vs invisible. So the people we see on the streets, we identify as having addiction & mental illness, but the number of people without housing, whom we don't see b/c they are in shelters, is greater. eg. there is still very much an issue with homelessness as far it concerns people being unable to afford actual housing costs...
I think it's a very important point to note in this discussion. So while we are discussing "visible homelessness" it's important to remember that the invisible kind still exists and also needs attention.
