Anyone who is against housing deserves homeless encampments in front of their homes.

Does no one believe in rent to own models? Or is the opinion that this housing is temporary and no one would want to own it? I'd counter that with the number of rent to town trailer parks now. Clearly there's a market for what we may see as less desirable housing locations.

Also typically low income individuals typically would never be able to get a mortgage, this also circumvents the traditional mortgage.

Iv never researched if it's done via gov't in other countries but would be interested if any PaRD people know anything.

the problem with "free housing" is it means cheap housing that will not be upkept.

i can't answer the question without recognizing what we're offering people is a cheaply built apartment complex where nothing will be maintained that falls apart in 10 years and is left as a hellhole.

i'm more in support of cheaply built mini cabins for homeless than i am for free housing for all.

Salt Lake City had a great housing first model.

The number one cause if homelessness is lack of affordable housing.

You don't need free housing, most homeless people work or have income.

Just need non-gentrified housing. The poor people have their neighborhoods bought and they're moved out by imperial investors. Nobody builds affordable housing.

ive seen perhaps a dozen homeless parks rise and fall in cities across america. it always starts so wholesome, guy who has wooden crates to get rid of makes 6' x 6' mini houses with a locking door instead of scrapping the wood. leaves them all over. etc. homeless move in, its a great thing, everything nice. then it starts to decay. people complain about them, housing laws are brought up, drugs and robbery creep in, etc.

its a tug of war as well, because on one hand its a compassionate alternative to living in a cardboard box, but it's still not a living situation most people would consider humane and acceptable. so rather than offer a less than human option no option is given except to section off areas of the city as no fly zones for cops, people, etc.

the stories are always the same and always heartbreaking. people banding together to build a community that have fallen out of the larger societal community, getting what they need most to turn it around. then it either crumbles from within when a few bad apples are added to the barrel or the barrel is chopped in half from the outside by cops, city council, w/e.
