Homelessness is not a housing problem. When you “just give them houses, bro” this is what happens. The response is generally “oh yeah, you also need to give them addiction treatment (that you don’t force them to comply with), doctors, therapists, spending money, etc etc” And the truth is, in many cases, nothing will fix these people. They were born with defects we don’t know how to fix. But even if the progressive plan would work, at some point we have to consider the astronomical cost and whether it’s worth it. You need to be able to answer the question “how much is it worth paying to treat someone whose best-case outcome is being a cashier?” The answer cannot be “whatever it takes.” That’s civilization-destroying lunacy. A bleeding heart is not a substitute for calculation, and usually impedes it.
