NIMBY. The real culprit is the housing crisis. Build more homes, reduce prices of homes and people can stay. You can’t just make shelters and hope these people get on their 2 feet if everyone is struggling.
As for the choice thing, I was being a bit hyperbolic but there are some people who really do choose to be outside of a shelter. These are either addicted or mentally unstable people.
Oh, yes, ofc, basically all EU countries do that to divergent extend (mostly in term of non-profit housing), it keeps the supply part of the market in check not only by increasing supply, but also by not being incectivized by hiking rents just because they can.
Afaik US does or did that too, but I guess was always lobbied against.
The “hyperbole” - it’s like mentioning some people would actually like to die in context of defunding hospitals or starting a war.
