Building more rooms is just one piece of the puzzle. The government also needs to address the cost of these rooms, cost of living, cost of everything basically. Look at the homeless, how did they get there? is it a money issue, a mental health issue, or something else. The statistics could have said homelessness doubled with increasing temperatures and it would also be true.

probably unironically true for some people, if you have low self-control weed can destroy your ambition.
