Not the government. The people. And if the resident leaves/dies, that housing goes to someone new. The landlord never gets it back. That’s important; they need to be afraid, but have an easy out (just put somebody in there, lower rent, etc)

I mean, taxing away houses and then giving them back to the homeless still counts as an expenditure. You’re probably going to want to give them each a nurse and a meal plan as well, if you want them to stick around, because as mentioned these people often have persistent issues.
The people have never done shit. Not once in history.

Taxing is the government. They work for the owners, not the people dying on the street. Governments are all advocating for the right to criminalize sleeping outside even when there’s literallybno other legal option.

Oh. I guess every single history source I’ve ever read lied then. Thanks for informing me.
