In case you've missed it, there's an article in the New Yorker and a section on the Political Gabfest podcast about a deliberative process in Bend Oregon on homelessness in that community. I happened to spend a few days in Bend in August 2024 - it's nothing more or less than a small pleasant inland USA city, with a river its best feature.
