About this listen
y investing in solutions for the unhoused, communities can reduce emergency service costs, increase workforce participation, and enhance overall economic productivity. Homelessness is also closely linked to public health issues, e.g., mental health problems, substance abuse, and the spread of infectious diseases. Providing stable, permanent housing can improve overall community health and reduce healthcare costs, which are astronomical and rising. Most importantly, every person deserves a safe and stable place to live, especially in the richest country on earth. Solving homelessness ensures that humans have access to basic needs, which is a fundamental human right. One-third of America's homeless live in California. L.A. real estate developer, Edgar Baek, sat down with John to hear his thoughts on L.A. Mayor Karen Bass's plans to end homelessness, and his organization's solutions to this growing crisis. This interview was filmed shortly after Mayor Bass was elected in 2022.
