And it basically goes over how anything that is a suspected indicator of homelessness, stuff like poverty or drug use, are these predictors of homelessness or mental illness and walks through point by point how all of these things actually don't correlate with homelessness at all.

Housing prices and availability and affordability of homes. Yeah. And I think it's funny because, yeah, using a place like... You know, you could use a place like Houston as an example. In a red state, in a red city. I don't know if they have a Democratic governor. Sorry, mayor or not. I don't know Houston. But that, you know...
