Your solution to fix things can’t always be to give people something. Giving the homeless housing doesn’t encourage them to work and get out of housing, it encourages them to continue living how they are.

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?

You provide the claim as true, you must provide evidence. Giving to people so they can continue their destructive lifestyle is no way for a society to function. The left has brainwashed people to believe it’s compassionate; it’s not, it’s enabling poor choices.

What did I claim is true? That homelessness is immediately curbed with access to housing? That doesn’t require proof; it’s self evident. It’s not brainwashing, it’s a mixture of sympathy / empathy and common sense. You believe addicts deserve to be miserable and cold. I don’t.

Giving people housing doesn’t necessarily curb homelessness. You’ve incentivize homelessness and end up rewarding homelessness and the factors that lead to it.
