@Maroon @BowsacNoodle @ColdOnesLite @egirlyuumimain I do sort of believe homelessness is used as a threat against people so they remain permanently insecure, because it's such an agonizing tar pit, and fixing the problem forever wouldn't take much, even by the standards of social programs.
Jailing millions of people in the 90's didn't even cost that much, and the homeless population is a fraction of that size.
