The Dread Slender Gnome@EmmyNoether @Piss_Ant Yeah, I’m leaning towars him being wrong on this as well.
For one, Finland implemented full housing first programme, and as far as I know the results are that it actually helps get addicts off drugs, rather than the other way around. And the same seems to be the case with trials elsewhere.
And of course quite apart from that, I think in a country where not having housing can be an effective death sentence at least part of the year, it’s just plain ethical to offer housing to anyone willing to stay under a roof.
You may be correct of his liberal fallacy. I don’t actually know what he bases his opinion on, but from what I’ve heard there’s actual proper data that it’s not the case.
