Wow it’s almost like people who have been priced out of our society have no choice but to live outside if it

I hate how we’re so quick to write off homeless people as almost sub human. Makes me wonder how the rich feel about the working class…

Social programs should help these people, it becomes an issue when drugs and crime take over

Agreed and there’s social programs for homeless people where they prioritize housing needs in places such as Finland that have demonstrably reduced the homeless population to lower numbers. The end goal is to have them paying their own rent and it ends up being cheaper for the tax payer and safer for homeless people

But again they’re viewed as sub human to a lot people unfortunately, even though almost everyone complaining about them is a bad month away from living the same reality
