▲Are big problems more difficult to solve? (paulitaylor.com)
RickJWagner 3 hours ago [-]
An interesting article.

Homelessness is a very sticky problem because many efforts to fix it only make the situation more tolerable and thus more persistent. Also, efforts to ‘fix’ behavior to remedy homelessness often fail to reversion to the undesirable behavior, so it becomes sort of a treadmill.

It is a hard, hard problem. More money isn’t an effective tool.
