It's not that anyone is bring kicked to the curb for being mentally ill or addicted. However, for most housing, you have to pay and respect some rules. If you can't pay or can't respect the rules, then you'll either have to find another place or you'll become homeless. The individual interaction is not heartless, but it is pragmetic. The larger issue does still need to be addressed.
The next question is whether their parents have any troubles...
- dredmorbius 8y agoIf there's a failure to provide for those who cannot follow the rules, then the systemic effect is kicking to the curb. What of those whose "respect" failures aresuch that they cannot gain or hold a job? Discrimination, disability, drugs testing, convictions or arrest screens, etc.? The sytem you describe kicks them to the curb as well. All of this also studiously ignores the fact that housing has been underbuilt for decades ineconomically vital areas.
- fiter 8y agoMy point was that the decisions are not being made based on disability or drugs testing. The individual decisions are being made based on the behavior of the person. That's not discrimination, that's just responding to another person's behavior. Is that not a fair system?
