You can visit a city like Helsinki: and yet, there’s barely any homeless people around (of course, homeless people still exist) while comparing that to Los Angeles, it’s a fucking joke. It’s because they prioritize housing for everyone indifferent to their circumstances (even those addicted to drugs or with mental health issues are also sheltered) as they recognize that housing is a human right.

The housing is managed by the state, while Finns pay A TON in taxes at least it’s heading to cover expenses for getting people off the streets. It’s because the Finnish government is on board with putting them into housing while American government demonizes their existence as a whole not even considering them as human beings at all, like WTF is wrong with their mindset?

    The United States doesn’t even consider food a human right, so why would they give a single flying fuck about housing?

    Pedophilia is apparently, however, a right that is guaranteed by the US Constitution.

      food

      It’s not even food at all, more like chemicals (i.e. “beef” injected with hormonal drugs) or bread that never gets moldy.
