Tiny homes are being built at a faster paste, which is incredible news.Although these tiny homes are a big step toward lowering the number of those unhoused, I believe affordable housing would be a better option. Affordable housing would be more effective as a long-term solution, rather than tiny homes, which only allow individuals to stay for about six months to a year.I believe that attention should be brought to what is causing such high rates of unhoused people, and address those factors. Although it is great to see that a portion of the 6,266 unhoused will be sheltered within a year, more needs to be done.Leslie Gonzalez LemusSan JoseDemocrats were rightto stick to speaker gunsRe:...Wife of ex-Alaska pilot says she is in shock over averted disaster
