No. The ONE thing he did right was go out in the woods. Weird, crazy, maladjusted people are better off if they go out into the frontier. Unfortunately those are getting harder and harder to find. That way, they either don't make it (problem solved) or they do make it and live far away from everyone else. Better for all involved.';

the entire point is to shove undesirable people that nobody likes into an institution where they will never escape and therefore interact with other human beings. most people do not want to 'fix' the mentally ill, they just want them gone. Its the same with prisoners. I do not care if you 'rehabilitated' a murderer or a theif, keep that animal away from me.';

Homelessness is a housing problem. If we didn't have policies that made it illegal to build cheap housing we would not have homelessness like we do. It just looks like a mental illness/drug addiction problem because those are the people who can't compete for the limited housing available. If you gave them money they'd get a place and in the process displace someone else into homelessness. We need more homes and we need a lot more small and cheap homes.';

'>>2727619
>Homelessness is a housing problem
hahah, no.
It's a mental illness issue with drug abuse stack on top, when you make housing for these people, they won't use it if requires following basic rules, and when you let them "self-govern", they burn it down in short order.';

Both. In Finland everyone who wants can get a house. There are still homeless people and fucked up drug addicts, but relatively less than in other places and they are relatively better integrated.';
