  >I started drafting a sincere reply, but I don't think you're arguing in good faith. what is bad faith about taking someone's claims at face value? your claims are 1) 50k distribution to homeless people is unfair to people making less than 50k 2) the core issue of homelessness is a-bunch-of-things–none-of-which-is-being-without-a-home >What are you suggesting, that we give homes to homeless people? i'm not suggesting anything. i'm simply pointing out that your claims are vacuously false given some very obvious counterpoints. but let's "faithfully engage" with your premise; norway has the lowest homelessness rate in the world. what do they do? 1) Reduce eviction petitions by 50% and eviction itself by 30% 2) Prevent individuals recently released from prison or a treatment institution from requiring temporary housing 3) Improve the quality of overnight shelters 4) Limit temporary housing stays to less than three months 5) Ensure safe rental housing for families with children 6) Limit temporary housing to exceptional circumstances, with these arrangements not exceeding three months >The 2014 strategy plans to achieve these goals by providing assistance to individuals shifting from temporary to permanent housing, assistance in obtaining a suitable home within an insecure housing market, preventing evictions and social innovation." note that all of these policies revolve around (unsurprisingly) homes.
