“Housing first is a policy that offers unconditional, permanent housing as quickly as possible to homeless people, and other supportive services afterward.”
Keeping researchers precarious makes them less imaginative and incentivizes cutting corners in their research. I think research would work much better if they could be stabilized early in their careers.
I guess the obvious argument against that is that it would be too expensive, although I would like to see an honest estimation of all costs and benefits.
