Homelessness is often thought of either as an issue of individual moral failings or merely of bad policy. It should instead be seen as a moral crisis for our democracy, one that demands transformative economic reforms.
I’m not going to launch into a full treatise on how I became homeless, but it certainly wasn’t my choices and actions, but rather the economy pushing up prices far beyond my annual raises. But once one is here, we’re all binned together. Keeping to myself in my van is viewed as equivalent to a meth addict running naked down the street.
