>>1881673I'd say that in a lot of cases car dependency and homeless are symptoms of the same problem, that being retarded euclidian zoning laws that prevent people from building high density residential or building any kind of residential within remotely reasonable distances of anywhere people actually want to go. Relaxing zoning laws both drives rents down while also decreasing average commute costs, both in the form of people spending less on their cars but also the higher density ends up making public transportation more financially viable.
