    Its cost effective, so I'm actually conservative. Please don't assume my political affiliation.

    Yeah, it's cost effective to give people a home that they will then shortly destroy thus necessitating the cost of another home. People that shit in the fucking street and do drugs all day, make for very responsible home owners and tenets

    Conjecture.
    Go take a look at any reservation; subsidized housing was provided and most of it is falling apart from lack of maintenance. People don’t respect what they don’t earn; that’s human nature.
    You've had to have lived a pretty fucking sheltered up bring to not know this.

    If you were forced to live in public housing who's population was made up of homeless people who where just given "free" housing by the state those kind of projects would seem like a suburban paradise.

    Bob would be dead within a week.

    Yeah, the guy who has worked full time since he was 13 years old, has lived on my own since I was 16, put myself through college, and have worked pretty much ever since I graduated from college with the longest period I've ever not had a job being two weeks when I first moved to LA, I just wouldn't know how to survive.

    I'd say the teat sucking liberal who wants the Federal government to pay for their healthcare and college and wipe their own fucking ass at every turn is the one who'd have problems making it.
    Now we know why you’re so angry.

    Funny how you believe that someone who is independent and self-reliant and who isn't looking for a handout from anyone is "angry."

    You Kunts can't even envision a world where you're responsible for your own medical care and college education and retirement.

    For the ones who want help, yes. But speaking about Seattle, there's still far too many homeless folks who don't give a shit and will prefer their life of substance abuse and crime until forced to stop. Incarceration or forced treatment is the only viable solution for them.

    I’ve always thought the homeless epidemic was more about drug abuse than available housing.

    Now I’m a major proponent of building more housing, and development in general.

    But lots of these people (I’ve interviewed some) are too addled by drugs to thrive if given a home. The sad truth is they’d probably just sit inside and inject heroin until they died. That’s not really solving the problem.

    I'm going to take the conservative side on this one. Forget the free housing, it's better to ignore the problem and complain about it all day. Maybe build a wall to keep them out of the nice places.
