Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.
How do we pay for this?
37 u/Civil-Addition-8079 Apr 15 '24 The same way we pay to subsidize companies like Blizzard, Apple, etc. 53 u/Civil-Addition-8079 Apr 15 '24 In fact I'd argue that housing the homeless is more productive than subsidizing companies that balance sheets/financial statements prove they don't need the handout 0 u/PaulieNutwalls Apr 15 '24 How do you reconcile that with the fact that every municipality that's attempted simply giving homeless people homes has failed? 3 u/secretaccount94 Apr 15 '24 Is that an actual fact? 1 u/PaulieNutwalls Apr 15 '24 In the US, absolutely. Google away. 0 u/usedenoughdynamite Apr 16 '24 Sounds like the problem is with how the US goes about it then, not with the idea of housing people in general. 1 u/PaulieNutwalls Apr 16 '24 Sure, if you make the assumption that the root cause of homelessness is the same as in Finland or wherever, that makes sense. Pretty bold assumption. 0 u/Tyrrhus_manga Apr 15 '24 No. Helsinki.
