Comment on It's never been about helping people

  Most homeless people just need help because they are victims of circumstance. Give them an apartment with a few months of rent paid up, a few months food and doctors visits/medical coverage, and they’ll have enough breathing room to get back on their feet, find a job, and take over the rent on the apartment.

  and that 3 months of help, and small investment, will turn them back into a working citizen paying back into the system and have them off the streets, out of shelters, and back out of the social safety net.

  and its been proven multiple times that doing this is not just the morally right choice, its the financially smart choice.

  But in America we don’t care about doing the moral thing. We don’t care about doing the financially wise thing.

  We care about punching down at the less fortunate and more vulnerable. Which is why systems like this will never come to fruition. Which is why homelessness which is wholly an artificially manufactured issue, will never be a solved issue.

    Then you get the homeless person that throws their shit on the wall with major undiagnosed mental issues
