Homelessness and poverty.

 The easiest way to end homelessness is to give unhoused people houses: https://www.5newsonline.com/amp/article/news/local/little-rock-tiny-homes-homeless/91-e069c403-25b1-45c1-9cea-c97c3c52cb84

You can eliminate poverty the same way.  Give the poor money.

Did you know that many Christians are opposed to eliminating poverty? Yep.  You start talking to them about ways to get rid of poverty and they'll sling half of Matthew 26:11 at you and say it can't be done.  As usual, these kinds of Christians are cherry picking.  I guess Deuteronomy 4:2 -- Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you -- just doesn't resonate with them.

So, good on Ken Howard and the city of Little Rock.  I don't like the drawing, it looks like a ghetto and they are building it in a pretty trashy part of town -- no offense intended for anybody who lives near there and keeps their property looking nice and junk picked up and stuff --, but I guess it's better than nothing.
