[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More housing will help very few of the homeless. Most of the homeless are mentally unstable or have addiction issues and cannot live independently. Some people clearly need to be institutionalized for their own good and for the safety of the community. Others need in-patient drug rehabilitation services. A small number of functional homeless just need safe, clean housing. It’s a very complicated issue. However, giving everyone housing is just a waste of resources. The housing gets trashed within a year. I don’t know if people understand that many of these people don’t understand the most basic aspects of living independently and being good neighbors. [/quote] The solution is to raise taxes and build a new house every year for these people.[/quote]
