Homelessness isn’t just a lack of housing—it’s a societal choice. In this episode, hosts Dave Conley and Jerremy Alexander Newsome sit down with choice psychologist David Jacob and nutrition expert Leslie Bobb to explore the human side of the crisis. Through personal stories, they reveal how empathy, nutrition, and clean shelters could slash homelessness by over 50%. But with $80 billion wasted annually, is America choosing to fail? Discover why Finland succeeded—and how we can too.
