Good point.
Does anyone know how Norway has handled drugs and homelessness?
The reason I ask is that we should probably compare funding and outcomes between Portugal and Norway, no?
Two things are needed to change human behavior:
1. A strong deterrent
2. An equally strong support system (ie. Healthcare, housing, food, basic income)
You can’t do both of these without a strong financial investment unless…
You’re Singapore.
- silvestrov 3y agoYou can't compare Portugal and Norway directly as you can survive as homeless in Portugal during winter time (10°C, 50°F) but Norway is so far north that you will likely die if you don't have insulated shelter during winter. If the government in Norway don't provide shelter, it is the same as directly saying "we don't mind these people die".
