If I was healthy and abled I would be leading a full scale rebellion charge at bayonet point. Next Generation will have to do that instead.

Thank god they will just stick me in a tiny rubber tent and enable my suicide instead.

Many homeless people are sadly beyond help, seemingly. Many of them are so addicted to one substance or another, or so completely devoid of hope, or mentally ill, that you can literally give them a nice cushy place to live and they will either wander back onto the streets or it turns into a crack\whore house. It's not clear what the solution is, but just throwing houses at them because "hey they're homeless" never works.

Damn the term "seemingly" is doing some heavy lifting up in this post

Do you say any of this out of personal experience, or just talking out of your ass again?

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I'm saying many homeless people would still be homeless. Yes, throwing houses at *some* of them will help them. So go do that, by all means (we already do this btw).

What do you do about the remaining homeless people who are hell bent on being homeless?

If you want to see what happens: Invite a homeless person to live in your house. Just let the experiment play out from there.

I'm not denigrating the homeless at all, more trying to get bougie liberals to think harder about the issue.

I asked you a question and you avoided it

Have you worked with the homeless directly? Have you been homeless? Where do you get your information that forms this opinion?

Haha nice appeal to authority.

But yes, I have known and worked with homeless people. Many. So what?

Mental hospitals were just those liberal utopia scandanavian goverment assisted drug programs change my mind.

They always have the liberal voters chasing a carrot on a stick. In this instance it's chasing a carrot their own leaders got rid of (their own favorite leaders at that)

There were some abuses. It’s before my time so I don’t have the deets and it probably wasn’t all

But where it occurred I heard it was bad

Edit: I like the people just standing around to watch the homeless fight with crutches in one of the pics

So this homeless guy steals someone's car over by the airport in Las Vegas which starts a high speed chase on the highway. A cop tries to lay down a spike strip on the highway and the homeless guy runs him over. Cops then pit maneuver him and shoot and kill the homeless guy.

It turns out this homeless guy is named Douglas Claiborne. Claiborne makes 600k/yr from family inheritance. He gets 50k installments each month. Despite being rich as fuck, he sleeps under a bridge in Hawaii and sometimes flies out to Las Vegas to gamble.

Point being that although giving homeless people shelter is a good idea to normal people with functioning brains, I'm guessing a lot of those homeless people like being homeless.

Local news article if you wanted to read about it.
