Maybe dealing with the root issues that cause homelessness (mental illness, debt, drugs, etc) should be more important than whether well-off people 'feel' safe?

Maybe dealing with the root issues that cause homelessness (mental illness, debt, drugs, etc) should be more important than whether well-off people 'feel' safe? People being dirty and homeless doesn't make them automatically dangerous.
- Ralfp 10y agoDo you believe that world without debt and people falling into addictions can be created?
- ensignavenger 10y agoWe can certainly have a world where debt doesn't make people homeless, but addiction is a much more difficult problem. We can do a lot better there with better mental health care.
- ciaranm 10y agoI feel like a world where people who have addictions are treated rather than criminalized can exist. Debt isn't a problem in itself, but I don't feel like there's enough support for people who find themselves in rough financial situations. Dealing with money and debt isn't that hard, but you need to understand it and I think there's loads of people that don't.
