If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

We repeat this experiment (or versions of it) in towns over and over again with the same positive outcome every time but without any resultant widespread policy change.
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.

Narrative reporting- we should all be doing this! It uses the opportunity to use our routine reports for maximum impact for patients. To take this further we need to ensure we are writing for patients and clinicians #FISHIS24
