"Americans react to homeless with a mix of anger, compassion, perplexity, and frustration. Little progress ever seems to be made." Those are the thoughts of Stephen Eide ("EYE"D), from his book "Homelessness in America." Mr. Eide is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has a PhD in political philosophy from Boston College. He focuses a good deal of the 151 page book on the housing issue. In Chapter 11 he suggests: "When housing is all that anyone debates, nothing winds up getting done about public disorder, drug addiction, and untreated mental illness."
