Shownotes

America shamed litterbugs into extinction—can we do the same for homelessness? This episode explores how public campaigns and bold leadership, like Singapore’s 60-year transformation, could inspire systemic change. With homelessness costing $80 billion annually, hosts Dave Conley and Jerremy Alexander Newsome push for coordinated resources, community focus, and political will. Discover why fixing homelessness starts with society saying, “This is unacceptable.”
