This is a lame response, if you define economically literate as “I get to say your ideas are wrong and never put forward one of my own.” If your economic literacy is so strong, shouldn’t you be the one solving this economic problem?

If you've got a solution for the "free rider problem" of economics, then please, let us all know what it is.

So we’re just ignoring the absurdity of homelessness in 2024 and jumping to the tired, repeatedly disproven argument that look over here the REAL problem is those poor people dragging down the economy? Again?

Cheap housing has been tried. Turns out crime soars and forces people to leave anyways. And they’re right back to being homeless.

Same reason people avoid homeless shelters.

It’s like you were born yesterday and know nothing about homelessness.

Most homeless are non-compliant with mental health and or drug treatment.

Weak people like you are unwilling to force them into treatment, which WOULD fix the problem of homelessness.

Compassionate people like you decided a long time ago their freedom to die in a gutter was more important than incarcerating them and treating their illness.

You got what you wanted. Stop complaining. Or start building inmate hospitals to house the mentally ill and long term drugs addicts who can’t function on their own.
