Do you believe the homeless are willing to change their ways to end their homelessness? (End drug abuse, maintain a job)

Absolutely, but it’s a lot harder to get clean without some stability, like housing.

Even when given housing, there’s 0 guarantee they’ll change.

But they’re much more likely to positively “change” in that environment, plus it gets them off the streets. It’s a win for everybody. I really don’t see the problem either way.

You are going to need proof that giving someone housing causes a positive change vs someone working for it and earning it themselves.

(1) Google is just a click away. (2) Regardless, why does it concern you if someone is struggling with addiction while they’re housed? Isn’t the point to curb homelessness and crime in the city? Again, what’s the problem?

Replying to @LexisFlexxxis @stopthee and
You haven’t provided one reason why housing the homeless is bad. The onus of proof is now on you. Tell me, what’s wrong with giving them a place to stay?

“This study aimed to examine the effect of homeless shelters on crime in Vancouver. The opening of a shelter appears to be linked with a significant increase in property crime in the shelter’s immediate vicinity.” Lol come on

That’s your retort? No evidence to refute it? Just “come on?”

My retort is that the study you linked to doesn't come to the same conclusion as you presented it with.
