If I was homeless I would simply buy a house
Why do you own property you can give away? Do you own property you aren't using?
Yes all homeless people are drug addicts. Now do an entire race of people.
Who is asking you to pay for someone else's home lmfao? Do you mean via taxes? Because that's pennies my guy. If you're gonna huff at helping people in need with your tax dollars (which by the way stimulates the economy when we invest in equity I.e. Helps YOU) then you should not be living in a collective society. You my friend have what is called crab mentality, in other words "fuck you I got mine" because some pennies is too much for you.
My favorite thing is people that complain about cities and their homeless crisis then when actual simple solutions are posed it's "no I ain't paying for that." it's like people wanna see others punished because they ended up where they did.
Nobody is asking to solve the homeless problem by advocating for people to literally buy a house and gift it to someone. We can solve this problem with public housing and split the cost among all of society, without the profit motive driving up prices.

Because being a landlord isn't labor. "Risk" isn't labor, it's gambling and creates no value. If you're genuinely running a non-profit, cool! But we all know that's not what landlords do.
I'd rather download one, the current real estate system has too much Domicile Rights Management tech built into it
