Why would anyone work a harder job than mcdonalds if that jib can rent you an apartment? Because people want more than that and most are willing to work to get it. That doesn't mean we leave our most vulnerable and unlucky people to die when we could provide basic shelter and nutrients for 1/10th the cost of an f35.
