  Just 9 days ago you posted about how corporations are creating a housing crisis and now you’re posting about how people affected by the housing crisis should be sent to jail. I don’t understand your stance.

    I am not the author of the articles. I hope that clears up the confusion

      You’re trying to paint a narrative with the articles you post.

      You are the author of this comment

      SFH are homes for people to live in, raise their families, etc. They are not investments. The large majority of homes should be priced where the average person can buy one.

      So I’m still confused. From this comment I’d assume you’d be against people being sent to jail for living in a home they are raising their family in because someone else wants to use it as an investment.

    Strictly speaking, you dont need to agree with the articles, just want to talk about them.

      Wouldn’t it violate the rules of this community if a conservative doesn’t agree with the article being posted?

  Imagine if instead of spending a fortune incarcerating people we used it to make it so people didn’t have to resort to this kind of desperation.

  I’m sure that we can arrest our way out of homelessness though! We just haven’t tried hard enough.

    @LookBehindYouNowAndThen @wintermute_oregon Homelessness is a complex issue caused by economic issues, broken homes, drug use, etc.

    Simplistic solutions probably won't be able to resolve a problem with complex.

      A simplistic solution is having people live on the streets. That’s what we already do.

      I really have no idea why you thought to verbalize that.

  They should hitch hike to NH… You can gain ownership of an abode from squatting.
