“Solved homelessness”
Hardworking people got more shitty neigbours… Thats not a solution, its just moving the problem inside.
We have this shit in sweden and I have observed it up close. Fucker didn’t want to work nor get clean. He was comfortable with his daycare for adults… They have this thing called work training - building products that no one buys to practice working…
Had a contact that could get him a job, he just said thats for idiots and I’m not and an idiot. Rather do his work training than get a real job and a real salary…
He’s dead now, killed him self with an overdoze from the anxiety medicine they prescribed to him.
So these things looks good on paper, but in real life not so much. Hope he’s and exception and not the rule.
I personally dont believe in it, I was on the same path once. Some hard truths got me on the right path again, worked hard, took alot of shit and today cant recognize my old self.
Avoiding having shitty neighbors is definitely a good reason to have people piss, shit and die in the streets. Good point there.
They’ ll just do that but inside.
That sounds like a good thing? Shitting inside instead of on the street?
Do you like stepping in human shit or something?
I would say “Avoiding having shitty neighbors is definitely a good reason to keep people shitty and in shitty conditions resulting in shitty deaths”.
They solved his immediate problem of being homeless. I’d rather have a few shitty neighbors than to have people living and dying because they lack shelter.
I wouldn’t take this comment as anything but an anecdote. This is how some homeless people can be, so the take away is that the homelessness problem cannot be completely solved with housing. Some people are just cripplingly dysfunctional. They need more than housing, they need care takers. Just handing out keys to an apartment next to families to a dysfunctional drug addict who will smoke, vandalize and play loud music at night is not fair to the neighbors. These are normal middle-class people complaining, not some billionaire who can’t stand the sight of a peasant lol.
And his life would have been even worse if he was on the street. I honestly don’t see the problem in this story. Someone with mental health issues had a place to live? Ended up dying to suicide? It’s a sad story but also the housing doesn’t seem at fault at all?
Just saying its a waste of time and money. And he took someone elses spot in a crowded housing market.

ideally like everyone has access to housing so there’s no “taking up space”?
-
how do you know it was a waste of time? maybe he has loved ones who he supported and brightened the loved ones, maybe if his mental health were better supported he would have thrived? not everything is about working. his life was not a waste of time, and even if he died, I’m sure it was better to die having housing than to die on the street, forgotten and discarded.
Channel 5 has been making great documentaries on YouTube about this. No preconditions isn’t true. No drugs, need Id. Housing programs exist aswell as shelters (no Id required) but you can’t be on drugs. They exist in canada heavily. It’s not the full solution.
Now if only we could solve the problem of self righteousness, there would be peace on earth.
Homelessness is a tactic in social marketing. America needs homelessness to stay America.
It’s not about solving homelessness. It’s about class warfare. The haves and have nots. It was never about a better society. It never will be.
If you’re serious, sure. For there to be a top class, a rich class, some winners, there must necessarily be a bottom class, a poor class, some losers. Some people feel like enriching these people will be default destroy their position.
They don’t seem to realize or care that their level of have can fix so many people’s have-not, and it can be done quickly and efficiently and without actually significantly altering their own lifestyle. They’re worried that if the have-nots suddenly have something, they will become part of the haves, the winners, and well… If there are no losers, what’s the point of being a WINNER right?
Okay I see what you mean, I misunderstood your original comment and thought that you were saying that providing housing was somehow orchestrated my the upper class.
