UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: This thread is worth reading, from @scottsantens.com, on the Denver basic income and homelessness study, and the nuanced importance of its conclusions. bsky.app/profile/scot...
Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
