So when we search for solutions to the problems of today’s New York City, such as a growing crisis of housing affordability, rapidly accelerating climate change, and widening economic inequality and instability — and their manifestations as homelessness, crime, poverty and polarization — we do not need to jump first and most enthusiastically to policing.
These negative manifestations are always controlled by trying to get rid of the byproduct and not targeting the source itself. If instead of making anti-homeless architecture and continuing to disregard climate change, we could target our resources into WHY the homelessness rates are up. If we can solve that problem, then that in itself will resolve the increase of homeless people.
