    Go live in a tent.

    There are also efforts under way in Oregon to get the US Supreme Court to overturn lower court rulings that prevent the removal of tent encampments, including those based on constitutional arguments.

    So you say “tent” even as tents are being made illegal, too.

    Contrast those with various “housing first” initiatives that are actually working. I think the most notable such program is running in Medicine Hat, Alberta. I’ve long thought of it as one of the more right wing cities in a province that is giving Florida a run for its money in a race to see who can cause the most human suffering, yet they manage to run a successful housing-first program.

    Maybe go read some actual studies and think things through instead of running on instinct. Your brain is not supposed to be treated like a vestigial organ.
