You don’t understand because your never consider the consequences of your actions.
Providing shelter for everyone is a basic human need.
But forcing mentally ill people mixed together with financially downtrodden unhoused people into a Kowloon City type environment without considering their ability to maintain their cleanliness and safety without imposing jack-booted level of policing is another level of stupid I can’t force out of you without an hours long face-to-face lecture where you and I can discuss like two friendly normal people.
“force your opinion out of you over an hours long conversation like a normal friendly person”
time for some self reflection there, baroque
i happen to agree with you too, as would i think anyone who has spent time in an american projects or shelter system, but youve so thoroughly poisoned the argument i cant take it up here.
Yeah, so simple!
Those apartments world devolve into a human trafficking, crime ridden drug overdose havens in no time. Mental health support for them is needed first.
You get them in a stable living arrangement first, and then that makes mental health support exponentially easier.

I’d appreciate if you didn’t insult me for your own ignorance.

Yes I can; it’s called hypocrisy.
I never understood people like you. That the moment you help someone, the result will obviously be the worst outcome? So better not help them at all?

I agree. So let’s start with the basic human need. Nobody suggested we stop there and wash our hands of it saying “problem solved.”
I would say the pilgrams ended up alright but here we are.
Why not both, simultaneously?
