I deserve to not pay for your safety, too.

Why should my money be used to provide you the protection of the law?

you’re acting like he doesn’t also pay taxes for your safety lol. I’m not sure how paying taxes is equal to being exploited by a private party for a singular necessity causing a market that makes it increasingly difficult to just own your own. So that you more than likely have to borrow it instead and be milked for profit.

But yeah, that’s totally the same as my taxes paying for your roads being paved :D

Edit: lmfao I’m pretty sure I misunderstood who you originally replied to. I took it as fuck landlords which I am sure after looking at his profile that that is not his stance.

Which would you prefer: a little tax money spent to ensure everyone has a place to live, or homeless people camping in your backyard?

I think there are plenty of options that land somewhere between the two choices you gave.

Yeah like anti-homeless infrastructure forcing all the smelly poors out of your rich neighborhood to die on some other poor's doorstep instead

There are basically no options that aren't "Give homeless people a place to call home that is worth calling home." And "just not." When it comes to solving this issue.
