Do you believe the homeless should be punished more than they already have been?

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?

Here’s the reason giving without stipulation is bad: when something is given without earning it, the expectation that it will always be there provides zero incentive to care for what is given and leaves the resource in disarray.

“Without stipulation” Is your theory that these people have always been homeless and have never paid into the system via taxes? What do you mean by “earning it” exactly?

It’s not a hard concept. You want to give people housing. I want people to pay for their housing. What exactly do you mean by giving people housing?

Access to shelter. Like, if you're homeless, you have somewhere to stay. Simple concept that definitely exists already, we just need more of it in SF. Is your argument that these shelters shouldn't exist?
