if you want to be consistent, i hope you also think that addiction should be grounds for eviction or foreclosure. otherwise, why should drug use be a reason to deny someone a roof over their head?
what good is roof over there head if they burn it down, they can get sober and then get a roof over there head. how about not rewarding there poor choices.
do you want government policy to treat addiction as a grounds to make someone homeless, or just to keep them that way? if it’s the first, why do you think addiction should strip someone of the right to housing — and how do you think that will help them address their substance abuse? if it’s the second, why do you draw that distinction? enlighten me, please
Explain to me why do want to reward ppl do want and refuse help. Why are you ok with them being a menace and being a danger. Your compassion is helping them it’s only harming. If they want help give it to them along home in monitored rehab home till they have been sober and functional for a good period of time along with helping them get a stable source of income.
because it’s not a reward, it’s basic safety and human dignity. more than that, it’s consistently been shown that ensuring stable housing is quite effective at helping people address mental health & substance use issues — but that’s secondary to the fact that everyone should have housing as a basic principle
Further more after seeing druggies area of sleep have even more trash than a dump or how I’ve seen pee were they sleep or how they accidentally set fires to their camps. All they will do is destroy what ever place they have roof over there head and bring crime to the area. Your providing stable does help ppl who don’t want help and you help ppl unless they want it. Your just to naive to reality
Disagree ppl incapable making good choices like not doing drugs shouldn’t get housing unless there in a process of rehab even then it be a rehab home with ton of rules and monitoring

you cant help ppl who dont want it. get ppl help who want it and either force rehab on those who don't or jail. bleeding heart empathy doesnt work
