Eric Garcetti gets an A on housing innovation

His first completion, at 50k per housed.  Slightly high but a first try.  

Kind of the direct, local libertarian anarchist approach, just go straight for the solution regardless of origination. Break the code rules, make the shelters easy to police. No need for massive programs, just learn to do it, nook by cranny as needed. More garage conversions for the home owner, legalize tiny house.  

Re-introduce work camp for the lost kids, have them do forestry work, cutting fuel out of our forests.  Haul it off and experiment with biofuels.  Upgrade the tent concept for efficient camptowns.  Especially in California.  Works for New York, we have to cool, they have to heat; but otherwise, the tiny home concept is better than  hallways, and services can locate these people easier, they become legal, have mailing addresses and ID.
