    But if you give houses to the homeless, they will no longer be homeless and who am I going to look down on now?

      The bourgeoisie requires a risk of destitution to prevent the proletariat from rising up.

      If you were to start giving houses to the homeless, at least 50% of those houses would be uninhabitable within a year.

            So what’s your point then, that homeless people are a lost cause and therefore shouldn’t be helped? Attempts to house the homeless have resulted in property damage in the past, so we shouldn’t bother?

            Perhaps you should take a step back and try asking why those projects failed and how to fix the problems instead of concluding that free housing programs could never work.

            If you really want to analyze the situation with some nuance then maybe try looking at real sources instead of opinion articles from right-wing “news” sites:

              My point is that a lot of homeless people aren’t to be trusted to take care of the space they live in. There would have to be some screening to make sure that these people are capable of not destroying the public good they are being offered for free. I don’t think it’s really debatable that there are some truly awful homeless people, violent, mean, entitled, and not fit to live in a proper society. It’s something people need to face the facts on. So we need to find out how to help the good homeless people before we let the bad ones ruin it for the rest of them.

              there is little incentive for left wing rags to report on these topics

                Yeah the sources you provided all love to shit on California while conveniently forgetting how great its economy is.

                  and how is that relevant? can homelessness be a problem and the economy be good at the same time?

                    I thought we were discussing homelessness and homes to be honest.
