It starts with throwing milkshakes at people you don't agree with and leads to killing them. It's not guns, it's violent people.It's unacceptable for anyone to use physical attacks of any kind against anyone unless you're defending yoursel…

Firearms may exacerbate the systemic violence but they arent the root cause of it as shown by other countries with similar per capita ownership but little to no violence. Obviously I am referencing the Czech Republic and Switzerland which …

I agree that housing should be a right for all people but where the question becomes more complex is over the location of that housing.In a Canadian example people often cite the crazy home prices in Toronto and Vancouver but nobody ever m…

Certainly not all, but a sizable percentage of the homeless are folks with mental health problems. We have a mental health issue that I'd prefer to see solved before we start giving away houses. The mental health issue shows up everywhere,…

then offer an equal per-person deduction for occupied residences which scales in proportion to the number of individuals housed rather than in proportion to income or property value. This way anyone who is holding vacant land which is not …

Call her a peon but she's still one of the most known politicians in the country. And she did that real fast. If she didn't worry the powers that be they wouldn't be allocating the resources they are to trying to attack her. They see farth…

Capitalism has done more to cut extreme poverty, hunger, violence and homelessness globally in the last 200 years than anything we’ve even fathomed could in all of prior human history. It was completely revolutionary and one of the greates…

I work from home, so I am around, I see people. I have a community now, and it wasn't through my workplace, it was through making an effort to meet the people I walked past every day and lived next to.I don't think it should be one thing o…

And if you are too underprivileged to be in a position to do any of that, or if you can't read, or don't have the internet, then you should be upset. But there's a lot of people out there just like you who could form an alliance and help e…

I agree that a "remote revolution" could help the workforce temporarily, but I tend to think that would be a "bandaid on a broken arm" kind of situation. This concept is heavily biased, obviously, for computer-based jobs. Many computer-bas…

She fought with her husband, they both got on drugs and straight up left us inn a house going through eviction and very little tiime to get out. Because the area is rural as shit, there re no social programs nearby that can help. So, what …

So I’m an asshole, but let’s look at a thing called “chronically homeless” meaning the person is unable to live independently but usually cannot hold down a job (often due to mental illness). How about we give them housing not just because…

When talking to my conservative peers, it’s better to phrase it as “it’s more cost effective to house the homeless in permanent apartments than it is to cart them to and from hospitals and jails for minor offenses like loitering.” This is …

There are a lot of unused homes and abandoned buildings in my area that the city, county, and/or state refuses to do anything with. They've been left alone for years because someone or some people are just sitting on them. Meanwhile mortga…

Thing is, the homeless often need support - just giving them an apartment isn't going to work in every case. There also needs to be a support structure to help people who have no experience of paying utility bills, budgeting, looking after…

Most states require you to sign up for Medicaid with a license, mailing address, etc. When I was homeless in Seattle, Medicaid required an ID (Which I thankfully had) and a mailing address that couldn't be a PO Box. Thankfully I kept a Box…

Of course people know how the political system works. Any Bernie win would have to be accompanied by a wave of progressive candidates across the board in Congress for this to happen, everyone knows that. Every presidential candidate in his…

I am a paramedic, and about 25% of my calls end up with me acting as a primary care doctor to homeless and low-income people.This is an insane waste of tax dollars, not to mention I'm in no way qualified to manage chronic diseases, but I'm…

Then after she had her calm life she no longer needed her escape and couldn't ignore the fact that she never actually wanted me as a person. She only wanted what I represented; what I no longer needed to provide. So she started cheating on…

As horribly sexist as it sounds I would recommend a friend or family member and their husband/boyfriend. Or her brother or something having a guy along adds a layer of safety, plus it's possible people who won't take OP seriously will take…

the conservative or libertarian idea of rights is focused on negative rights, like "you have a right to not be punched in the face", which does not require a cost or labor from other people. My right to free speech does not require someone…

Ridiculous. Plus on the practical level too. Imagine all the rules and regs that would exist in order to live in a government house. You probably wouldn’t even be given legal title over it. You would just be a tenet and the government woul…

what are the responsibilities of those entitled?How much can home owners control what is built next to or near them? How does the level of that control throttle home value/prices. Would you prefer a whorehouse next door or a mansion? Again…

I live in a popular vacation destination and lack of affordable housing is killing our community. Our homeless population is huge, and even people who have decent jobs can’t afford a home in the area (I have a government job and I can’t!) …

therefore are accessible to all citizens. You don't share ownership of privately owned land, therefore you're not entitled to it's use.We can wax poetic/virtue signal about how housing is a human right to make ourselves feel nice, but the …

They do not guarantee the allocation of anything and are categorically different from entitlements, which cannot be guaranteed.Entitlements are resources which are made available to people which society agrees is for the betterment of the …

No, your saying that the homes must be built. So who is going to build them if they won't make a profit, if they will be used to house people who can't afford them? No one. If you can't make a profit, no one will build them. Your advocatin…

Yes I do. All the time. Either paying for it through taxes or at the time of exacting said right to someone else’s labor.I also don’t have control over it. For example, I have a house and have to pay taxes so that schools in the area are f…

She just put in a washer dryer unit for a lady who has been renting from her for more than 20 years. My mom loves her and when asked she was happy to do it. The washer dryer unit was 1,200 the plumber was 2,200, the electrician was 800, de…
