Leads to filth, crime, disease. I’m in favor if giving them all free housing, medical care, etc., but not in the most expensive real estate in America, but the cheapest.

This is obviously correct and probably one of the more obvious ways empathy politics ends up hurting people

This is a shock for me too! I have seen many homeless people(like living in tents beside highways) in my hometown in India but their mental and physical health(from what I can tell) is way better. could the reason be having a family ?

Some cities do halfway homes instead, and when combined with social workers and a lot of thought on how to get them dry, clean, and productive again, it works well. No need to go the slum route.

You should watch dark days, it is a documentary about people who built shanty like homes in the tunnels of nyc. Very good doc.

I cannot say if you are being sarcastic, so I will just say it: Or we could just make sure they can afford to and receive the help they need.

Sure, but I like solutions that cure the cause instead of treating the symptoms. High barriers to owning/living in homes is one of the causes of homelessness - there's a lot of regulation around what can be 'lived in' - some people qualify, and the people who don't sleep outside.

There should be legal tent cities in every city. Free camping should be easily accessible.

I get kinda wet at the libertarian utopia of poor people being able to build what they need to in order to survive, though I'm not sure how the land ownership would work. I guess you could rent out a spot of land in the tentslums for a really low price, or use a gov. park?
