   It's amazing how many people will hear a statement like "obviously we can't house EVERYONE" and just shrug and go along with it as though it makes any kind of sense

     They tell you that homeless people are a threat to you because of crime, drugs, blah blah blah.

     Homeless people are a threat to you because your acquiescence to their continued deprivation gives your boss and your landlord social license to fuck you. They maintain this status quo because they want to live off your labour.

     That so-called unproductive members of society will be forcibly deprived of housing is one of the sticks that they use to beat you into producing for them. Yankees will recognize this as the same reason why their healthcare is tied to their employment.

     Is it because they've heard it so many times since childhood? Because the person saying it has an affect of respectability?

     @CedarTea my last landlord literally used her "charity" work with homeless people (which she mysteriously had time to do. Must have been getting lots of money from somewhere) as moral licence for knowingly helping my abuser to punish me for defending myself

     they fucking LOVE creating more homeless people. it hands them everything
