Breaking up homeless encampments doesn’t fix the fact that these people have nowhere to live! What a cruel policy.
Why not emminent domain overpriced apartment buildings owned by the Saudis, Chinese, and Russians, and give the apartments away the homeless. Problem solved.
Yeah, so simple!
Those apartments world devolve into a human trafficking, crime ridden drug overdose havens in no time. Mental health support for them is needed first.
You get them in a stable living arrangement first, and then that makes mental health support exponentially easier.
Housing first policies work everywhere they're tried.
Please link the studies to change my mind. Otherwise, apologies for sounding rude, but you are full of bullshit lies.
I'd appreciate if you didn't insult me for your own ignorance.
As for studies, you could start here: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/periodicals/em/spring-summer-23/highlight2.html
Fuck yes. Thank you for this link.
Lol you don't get to be rude if you apologize first.
Yes I can; it's called hypocrisy.
I never understood people like you. That the moment you help someone, the result will obviously be the worst outcome? So better not help them at all?
You don't understand because your never consider the consequences of your actions.
Providing shelter for everyone is a basic human need.
But forcing mentally ill people mixed together with financially downtrodden unhoused people into a Kowloon City type environment without considering their ability to maintain their cleanliness and safety without imposing jack-booted level of policing is another level of stupid I can't force out of you without an hours long face-to-face lecture where you and I can discuss like two friendly normal people.
"force your opinion out of you over an hours long conversation like a normal friendly person"
time for some self reflection there, baroque
i happen to agree with you too, as would i think anyone who has spent time in an american projects or shelter system, but youve so thoroughly poisoned the argument i cant take it up here.
I agree. So let's start with the basic human need. Nobody suggested we stop there and wash our hands of it saying "problem solved."
I would say the pilgrams ended up alright but here we are.
Why not both, simultaneously?
