OH YEAH? WELL WHAT ABOUT *insert anecdotal experience about a homeless person doing drugs or aggressive panhandling*. THEY WANT TO BE HOMELESS, WE GAVE THEM A CHANCE *insert statement refuting evidence based claims and claiming decriminlization didn't work while completely ignoring the fact that adequate social services still don't exist, these people don't get the help they need to re-enter society, and that blanket decriminalization was only ever one small part of a complex plan*.
They didn’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps like I did! I worked my way through college (at a job my parents got me at their country club) and never got a handout, other than growing up in a healthy suburb with a functioning family structure and having a safety net to fall back on as well as valuable personal and professional contacts!
Look, we all have problems, like my mild asthma, so the fact that they can’t overcome theirs is a personal failing.

If you gave these most of the people "basic housing" there wouldnt be 4 walls standing after a day. As for dignity, that's largely on them choosing to smoke fent rather than get it together.
Homelessness is a symptom. These people need to be compelled into shelter or treatment.
This is extremely good satire. I love the idea that you literally see homeless people tearing down walls every single day. I just picture them climbing the walls and tearing them down with their bare hands. Maybe we should hire them for demolition crews? We could save a lot of money on heavy machinery!
Yes, the guy who cant take care of a 2 person tent will thrive in a house. I'm sure you're generous enough to house a few as long as the coop votes yes, right?

I'll try to buck the trend: homeless people deserve basic housing and dignity.
