Woah woah woah, back up a bit. I never once said that all poor people are bandits. I said that keeping people homeless who then in turn tie up emergency services (because they can't practice hygiene, eat properly or go to the doctor until they're on the edge of death) is more expensive that you'd think, and that when a number of homeless people live in a given area that it impacts property values, not to mention the image of the community. I'm not saying they're malicious about it, I'm saying that's what happens when you don't have access to basic services. This study shows that just giving people a home is not only vastly superior ethically, but helps these people get OUT of that situation and in many ways can be cheaper too.
