@Feddylain @orekix precisely.
i think everybody DESERVES a place to live, except like evil people, and i think society has failed homeless people in ways especially concerning mentally ill people, but unhoused implies that it's a central authority that endows people with housing. it's creepy centralized authority i don't like.

@Feddylain @orekix giving people houses actually has been tried and in many cases it turns their life around. but for the severely ill without family to take care of them, they should be in care homes or something

@a7 @Feddylain @orekix the main selling point of the model is its cost savings frankly

@allison @Feddylain @orekix a minority of the homeless population really do need care like that but just providing housing helps most.

@a7 @Feddylain @orekix it also contradicts that popular notion that addicts need to hit rock bottom so they can quit.

@caseyp @orekix @georgia this is bullshit, not having a home defines how you live, which defines who you are. if you don't have a home, you are homeless.
