In the reality of the world for virtually all animals, if you don't/can't find food & prepare it to eat

(also known as "work"),

you don't eat.

I've lived in a tent long term while studying a skillset, and now, a few years after breaking into good paying work, I almost have enough money to purchase a tolerable enough piece of property and build a cabin on it.

Having lived on communes, including one where even felons were allowed, know now that I would perhaps offer free or low cost tiny houses to people, but only if I knew they were working towards something positive.

... I'd like to know how many out of the 28 are expending effort towards earn a house or rental in some way, such as working, studying, or building skills. pro-social stuff.

And how many are doing the opposite: drugs, crime, etc. anti-social stuff.

Because although houses exist, they require effort to keep: taxes, maintenance, etc.

If a person isn't willing to expend effort, how can it be justified to give them a regular ol' house?

Perhaps a tiny house as part of a government or NGO-funded social safety net program.

how many animals steal and murder ( their prey or even offspring) for food? if they were human would that be ethical?
