re: Colorado lawmaker proposes 25 cent plastic bag tax

I took a urban economics class while an undergrand and the professor had us learn a model that treated homelessness as an economic decision. I.e. people live on street because the cost of housing is less to them than cost of being homeless

He said time and time again that the single biggest thing our govt can do to make homelessness less prevalent is to make SRO (single room occupancy) housing legal

It is currently illegal for home builders to make sro housing
