You're advocating murder?

Anyway, yes, the system tends to fail when people work outside of the system. I'm not sure why this guy can't live in the subsidized housing until he has enough money to legally run a business and pay his own rent, though.

Moore doesn't want to get into city housing, preferring to make it on his own.

This man wants to make an honest living, and you're criticizing him for not taking welfare instead? Believe me, this man is not the reason for the failure of the system.

False dichotomy. And how it dishonest to avail of a welfare system one has contributed to in the past and/or will contribute to in the future?

[johnnybgoode]

To be clear, perhaps I should have said "make a living for himself" instead of "make an honest living".

It's unclear how living in subsidized housing would help him with his permit problem....

He seems to think that he's better off living on the street than being in the subsidized housing that is available to him. Maybe he's wrong, but shouldn't you at least offer some specific supporting evidence? (No, "housing is good" isn't enough. Public and subsidized housing can be quite bad.)

You do have specific knowledge of subsidized housing in SF, right?

It says in the article that he refuses to live in subsidized housing.

Pride, dignity, and self-respect be damned, he should get on the public dole, right? Oh wait, he's from Kansas, so he probably has some mid-western values in his DNA.
