I usually only post about work/research and #housing problems… but my current conundrum is how to get my #Frenchie - #blueheeler puppy to run with me instead of herd me and bite my shoes 😂😂😂

#urban #housing #sociology folks where would you submit an article about #unsheltered #homelessness & #slb governance? We’ve got a qual article on the expansion in homeless governance & how SLBs in numerous depts frame their enforcement practices. Can’t decide if urban or housing journal is best?
