California has a serious homeless problem.
The governor, Gavin Newsom, recently proved he has absolutely no idea how to solve it.
During his state of the state address this week, he said that doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing, just like insulin and antibiotics.
“Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics,” Newsom said. “We need to start targeting social determinants of health. We need to start treating brain health like we do physical health. What’s more fundamental to a person’s well being than a roof over their head?”
