Just 9 days ago you posted about how corporations are creating a housing crisis and now you’re posting about how people affected by the housing crisis should be sent to jail. I don’t understand your stance.
I am not the author of the articles. I hope that clears up the confusion
You’re trying to paint a narrative with the articles you post.
You are the author of this comment
SFH are homes for people to live in, raise their families, etc. They are not investments. The large majority of homes should be priced where the average person can buy one.
So I’m still confused. From this comment I’d assume you’d be against people being sent to jail for living in a home they are raising their family in because someone else wants to use it as an investment.
I never made a statement. I posted content for discussion.
So you don’t agree with this law change?
I am stating my opinion one way or the other. I post articles for discussion.
I’m trying to have a discussion. What do you think about this law change? I personally believe it makes no sense. Why would the government pay to put people in jail instead of ensure they have access to affordable housing?

Imagine if instead of spending a fortune incarcerating people we use it to make it so people didn’t have to resort to this kind of desperation.
I’m sure that we can arrest our way out of homelessness though! We just haven’t tried hard enough.

@LookBehindYouNowAndThen @wintermute_oregon Homelessness is a complex issue caused by economic issues, broken homes, drug use, etc.
Simplistic solutions probably won’t be able to resolve a problem with complex.
A simplistic solution is having people live on the streets. That’s what we already do.
I really have no idea why you thought to verbalize that.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen That’s not a solution at all, that’s a symptom of the problem.
Root causes are what gets people into that situation, as I’ve mentioned above.
Cool. Glad you contributed that. I had no idea that people had reasons for being homeless.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen You’re welcome! ☺️ It’s always something to consider when people say “just give the homeless money!” or “just give the homeless people houses!”
I’d love if you point out where I said that.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I got the impression that you meant something along those lines when you said:
> make it so people didn’t have to resort to this kind of desperation.
Did you mean something different?
They should hitch hike to NH… You can gain ownership of an abode from squatting.
But New Hampshire is full of damn yankees!
