But if we just give the homeless houses, everyone will stop working and become "homeless" to get a free house!
Edit: Apparently a /hyperbole tag was needed. I live in Utah, and am very proud of our homeless housing. In this comment I was trying to simultaneously bring up the common opposing argument to this housing solution while also showing how ridiculous it sounds. Since we started providing houses for the homeless there have been approximately zero people who have stopped working to get a free house.
- antisthenes 10y ago> there have been approximately zero people who have stopped working to get a free house. That's only because I haven't gotten around to moving to Utah yet!
- SilasX 10y agoAnd because you didn't think of claiming to have "lost" your papers so you can get a free house.
- Kalium 10y agoThe response in some other areas is "Well, if we gave them housing, we'd have to allow those other people who aren't homeless to have new housing too, and we can't do that..." You're justly proud of Utah's policy. And all the NIMBYism it skips past.
