        When Milwaukee implemented a housing-first homeless policy, they actually saved money.

        Turns out that, by almost completely eliminating homelessness, you can save a lot of money on the legal system, policing, healthcare, and other costs associated with homelessness.

        Housing-first homeless policy is the obvious solution: it’s humane, it’s effective, and it saves us money.

                I don’t get what you did with all the time you saved by typing “Idgi” instead of “I don’t get it”.

                You mean “cost” as in the cost of the collective people. Such is not given a fuck about by anyone with enough to not be a communist. That and such wealth would give zero fucks if it weren’t for the fact that this level of wealth can, instead of forcing people, simply buy anything to be done that is delirious, disgusting and more that even I don’t want to talk about here.

                At the end of the day it become the choice of every individual who doesn’t want to die to sell their kid to Bill Gates who will do you know what.

                  I just meant that in terms of tax payer money offering homeless people cheap free housing is not more expensive than not doing that and having all these other costs go up to combat the symptoms nothing more.
