The “save the homeless” NGOs are often paid according to how many homeless people are on the streets, thus creating a strong financial incentive for them to maximize the number of homeless people and never actually solve the problem!
Incentives explain outcomes.
Thorolf Butter@ThorolfButter· Dec 10, 2024@farzyness @elonmusk NGOs for homelessness or addiction generally have little incentive to solve either. The presence of social services programs will also attract homeless people from outside the region. Most of the visible homeless have smartphones and will relocate for access to welfare programs
