Homelessness is a symptom. The actual diseases underlying it at mental illness and addiction (and under them are deep social disfunction). Sadly none of those core issues are really treatable.
- AussieWog93 4y agoLee Kuan Yew found a way to get rid of addiction back in the 60s/70s... You can look at the epidemiology of what's happening there and it's actually amazing. Thousands of lives saved every year just from overdoses, let alone the social damage caused by drugs.
- polytely 4y agoThat seems like bullshit to me, seems to me that homelessness is mostly a symptom of not having a house. You can perfectly well be addicted and mentally ill in your own home.
