I’ve tried telling people that even a 8’x12’ bunkie ( 3 plywood sheets for the floor ) is drastically better than either the sidewalk or the local homeless-shelter, & that just getting people their own shelter/space ought be the primary concern…

those are luxury-apartments, by comparison.

You can house many more people in bunkies than you can in expensive modular-homes, if you are budget-limited…

Maybe my 7+ years of outright-homelessness have biased me towards help everybody orientation, but … the lives you “can’t afford” to help are lives, too.

Maslow’s hierarchy-of-needs, you know?

Get everybody up into life-safety, & then work on the higher-levels later…

They’re doing good work, but the not-included … die.

The streets are destructive in ways that mere-circumstance can’t possibly communicate.

The toxic culture, the prejudice, the randomly being robbed… the not having any legal right to participate in any online-transaction, because you’ve no address…

grinds you towards death, fast…

So does exposure…

( UK that may not be as much of a thing: in Canada it’s kinda lethal, in winters )
