    One problem with giving homeless people free homes is that everyone else will start to wonder why the hell we’re working so hard for 90% of our income being taken by landlords or mortgage companies, when we could simply stop working so hard, become homeless, and get a free home. ⁉️

      You’re probably joking but there are plenty of countries that provide housing for the homeless where this doesn’t happen. If you have your base necessities met then that just further incentivizes you to further develop yourself. People want to feel useful and they want to contribute.

      Right, you could totally live in a hovel with 40 other people instead. And share a single bathroom between you. It’s genius?!
