I don't have a party, so there goes that.
As for the issues in the big cities, I've not been avoiding them, because no one's intelligently challenged me on them or perhaps they were there, but buried in insults. That being said I'm neither sufficiently familiar to either corroborate them as true (i.e. how does mental illness increase when half of it is genetic and the other environment?) nor dispute them, much less offer up an explanation. If the dems are fucking up, they deserve to be kicked to the curb. Despite you and others continuing to claim otherwise, I have zero loyalties to any political party or ideology. Rhetoric is a waste of time. I want results and if the incumbent can't deliver them, they can fuck right off, whoever they are.
Back to the topic at hand, my question as to a solution to effectively combat homelessness is theoretical and stands on its own. What would you do, as a conservative? I'm not asking you to work within a budget, or to find a way to pay for it, so current spending on entitlements is immaterial.
