This is not though love.
What I am talking about is incentives. In exchange for free housing, you should at least try to get clean/ do some training/ do something.
To expect that society should provide free meals/housing without even the possibility of asking addicts to get clean does not sound fair to me.
Priority should be given to people who are at least trying to turn around their lives.
So yes I stand by what I said, I think a single mum with kids, a scared teenager/ somebody down on their luck should get free housing. Addicts should have access to care, to treatment, to food to everything that a human being deserves but they should at least try to get clean.
if they won't don't want to then priority should be given to somebody else.
- ukoki 8y agoDrug addiction already comes with so many negative side affects that you don't need the added incentive of potentially losing access to housing. If I offered you lifetime room and board in return for a crippling heroin addiction would you take that offer? If not, why not? Off the top of my head, there are already some fantastic incentives to not be a drug addict such as: - Massive social stigma and alienation from everyone in your life - Irreversible mental health issues - Serious physical health issues (often death) - The impossibility of doing anything productive or fulfilling
