Time to move past the neverending trial stage. Yes, basic income reduces homelessness.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Income caps, along with lifetime wealth caps. When you reach the latter, you do still benefit from the social safety net including UBI
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Denver does feel like it's roughly 40% parking lots - and neighborhoods where that doesn't apply feel great to be in. I really think we can drop these requirements without losing anything of value
Researchers found that cutting parking minimums would likely boost construction in Denver, Colorado by about 12.5 percent, translating into roughly 460 more homes per year for a relatively simple policy change.
Study: Removing Parking Minimums Leads to More Affordable Housing — Streetsblog USA
Removing parking requirements for new buildings could help thousands of Coloradans who struggle to afford housing — and it might work elsewhere, too.
