@justinwolfers.bsky.social what about making it free, since college graduates in general make more money and pay more taxes over the course of the rest of their lives? Those taxes pay it back and more. This is something that is never mentioned. Can you confirm that?

I'm willing to bet that the ROI on free tuition is even higher over the lifetime of a college graduate. Do you have those numbers @rbreich.bsky.social ?

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
