Outlaw street-level drug use.

I guess prisoners technically aren't homeless.

And how does that help? You're just sending anyone undesirable to prison?

How about, and this is a wild idea, we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that?

> we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that?

Who is "we" in this context?

[aaomidi]

People who realize housing people is cheaper than jailing them.

[eanzenberg]

How is it in any way cheaper. I mean yes, if you ship people to middle america it will be. But touting a "right" to housing in SF is preposterous, at $1000 / sq ft (and will only go up with more demand).

[kube-system]

Jails are more expensive to construct, are staffed, and also take up space like other forms of real estate.

[ueueshitashita]

What is stopping the group of people who realize this from housing people?

[aaomidi]

The fetishization of "law and justice" in the United States and the world?

As a species it seems we enjoy jailing the "undesirables" rather than tolerating them and understanding them.
