    If someone homeless or otherwise destitute recognize that “learn to code” is likey not the best option, and is extraordinarily difficult until you solve the homeless/destitute problem. A mental state of terror and exhaustion is not the right time to learn a complex skill.

        Agree. We need to push a housing supply increase everywhere in the U.S. Only then the price of housing will decrease for everyone. The landed aristocracy won’t be happy, but the homeless will. Innovations like prefab can also improve this trend. Construction is a cool job. 😁

        You’re absolutely right. That’s in part the thinking behind a “housing first” approach to solving homelessness. It treats housing and the stability it brings as a tool for people to get their lives together. House someone and then they can learn to code :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First …

        Housing will help get people off the streets. How do you solve the mental state though? My guess is 5-MeO-DMT.https://www.maps.org/research

        I sincerely doubt it. If a person is on the street because they had a psychotic break leading to lasting instability then a psychedelic treatment is probably the worst thing for them. The studies at the moment are focused on treatment of PTSD and anxiety disorders mostly.

        We still blame homelessness on laziness. We are far away from treating anyone with anything known to help (even dignity) much less experimental pharma when we can't afford our own meds.

        I don’t see the connect here. I get that we need to not blame these issues on laziness, but it’s a logical fallacy to say therefore we shouldn’t (in parallel) be trying new pharma. One problem does not beget shutting down experimentation and discovery

        Dunno man, been see'n the same bums in the same Starbucks daily with their laptops play'n games, watch'n YouTube videos and look'n at hookers on Craig's list for the last 3/4 years. Between goodwill (book) free WiFi, an outlet and lav, they could've learned enough for a job.

        How about housing (ie. homeless shelters) with computers to learn to code on, in addition to food and a roof 😊

        plus the bootstraps thing was meant to suggest it can't be done

        If this is in response to the idea I tagged you on, it’s entirely the model of @LambdaSchool and upfront service/delayed payment and not coding per se.

        You know in a lot of cities you could buy an apartment complex for the cost of a home in San Fran. The satellite “campus” should be in one of those cities. You’d educate more people at a lower cost.

        So many people don't realize the daily mental struggle most homeless are dealing with. It's not a lazy problem... It's a mental health issue. Coding.. not gonna fix it
