[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Civilized societies don’t have endless people living on the streets.[/quote]

We have a housing crisis. We have an expensive healthcare system tied to employment with limited mental health services. We fail to see addiction as a disease and view it as a moral failure.[/quote]

No, we do not have a "housing crisis." [b]We have vacancies in every city, everywhere. And even if we did not, new housing could be built easily and quickly.[/b]

What we have is a lack of will to say, you will not live on public streets, infringing on everyone else's right to safety and to enjoy parks, etc. If you do not have your own home, or a relative to take you in, you will be moved to a facility. End of discussion.

Addiction is not a disease. It does not develop out of nowhere. It is the result of substance use and abuse. [/quote]

This is so crazy I had to read it twice. There is very little affordable housing available, it's mostly luxury housing. And that's also what contractors are building these days. Not housing for the unhoused.

Also...who do you think is going to pay for all the unhoused being lodged in a "facility?" [/quote]
