It worked to end Veterans street homelessness 15 years ago. When I'm mayor, we will end street homelessness for people with serious mental illness. We will build fire 500,000 new homes, including 50,000 on just four of the city's 12 city owned municipal golf courses. You didn't know we owned 12 golf courses, did you, Arlene? We do 2500 acres. Eight will be plenty for people to get a tee time. Don't worry golfers. (55:54–56:03)
