By Ed O’Loughlin DUBLIN — For generations, the Irish took for granted that affordable, plentiful housing was the bedrock of their economic security and government policy. Not long ago, Ireland had one of the world’s highest rates of homeownership. The last several years have torn up those assumptions, leaving the country in the grip of a worsening housing crisis.

As the face of homelessness changes, politicians cling to limited policy ideas and quick fixes. By Michael Hobbes 05/19/2019 08:00 am ET SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The lunch rush at St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall is a snapshot of the changing character of American homelessness. The first thing that strikes you is the sheer number of people the soup kitchen serves. The line outside starts forming two hours before the food is ready. Diners file in, eat quickly…..
Massive homelessness is becoming an even worse problem in the state of California. Furthermore, the reports of moving homeless people from various cities in the state to Los Angeles, or “dumping” isn’t helping matters either. This issue is facing nationwide attention as the numbers of Californians living in the streets continue to skyrocket. Reviewing the Crisis in California Drugs, homeless camps, tents, needles, and people wrapped up in blankets on the side of the road are common sights to see in the…..
