- Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.
- this is why it’s so funny to me to imagine being conservative: you have to attribute anything to “well people are worse now.” rising homelessness? hmm i guess everyone just decided to start making bad choices. thank god that means we can’t do anything about it!Jan 17, 2026 15:46
