Pero California está agregando más personas sin techo cada año que cualquier otro estado. Más de 170.000 personas sin hogar ahora viven aquí.“El problema sería mucho peor, sin estas intervenciones”, dijo a CNN Jason Elliott, asesor principal sobre personas sin hogar del gobernador Gavin Newsom. “Y eso no es lo que la gente quiere oír. Lo entiendo, lo entendemos”.Pero con US$ 17.500 millones, el estado podría, en teoría, haber pagado el alquiler de cada persona sin hogar en California durante esos cuatro años, incluso con los altos costos de vivienda del estado.“Eso es...
