    Most free housing doesnt allow drugs, which is the main problem homeless people have with living in them.

    Then you have the general maintenance issues, fire risk, nimbyism. Is it really that simple?

      You’re perpetuating capitalist propaganda. Most homeless people do not have a drug problem. At least half of homeless people in the US are employed.

      It’s not a drug problem. It’s an unaffordable housing problem.

        Ah, that could very well be true, we really printed a lot of money during Covid. In Canada the government is already buying 50% of all mortgage bonds, inflating the debt people can take in order to juice home prices.
