Puzzle Summary:
Quick Shelter, Employment, Transportation (SET) for Involuntary Homeless to get back into the mainstream would make zoning changes for transitional housing in, next to, or near industrial parks to make it easy to walk to work. It's estimated there are a 500K homeless people capable of holding down full-time (FT) work but logistics are too difficult.
ONE PARROT says it's a win-win-win-win for workers, employers, families, and communities with just two or three 72 room apartment buildings per county needed to rehouse all these folks but outdated zoning laws stand in the way. THE OTHER PARROT says once zoning laws bend communities will become chaotic and no one may want to build that housing, anyway. Both Parrots make their good points over and over and over again. What did our nonpartisan scoring system say?
