Guy can't even take a nap without being abused by propagandists.

Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.

The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.

There are some capitalist countries that have a pretty low number of homeless people. Finland, for instance: 3,686 in 2022 (0,07% of whole population). So yeah, perhaps USA could do a lot better in this, but also being capitalist doesn't really correlate with this.

Then again, could be that the reason for the low number of homeless people in Finland is that you don't survive the winter if you're homeless in Finland.

Finland has a housing first policy. The homeless often have multiple problems that prevent them from getting a home the normal way (e.g. drug problems that cause them to get evicted). Instead of insisting people get better while homeless, they’re given homes first and treatment for their other problems after. This coupled with welfare transfers that ensure you never end up homeless just because of lack of money leads to low homeless numbers.

Yes, Finland does this precisely by rejecting Capitalism and giving homeless people homes. This is not a Capitalistic solution.

I get what you're saying, you can have a majority Capitalist society and still solve homelessness, but the answer will never be Capitalism.
