    Oh no we couldn’t do that! What we’re just going to do something Singapore already does, and has been shown to actually work?

      Is that coupled with public mental health care or? I can only image what a schizophrenic homeless person straight off the street could do to an apartment in a day or two.

        Look at the average rent price vs average salary these days, “normal” people are now becoming homeless. I can’t even imagine what people going through a divorce right now are going though.

        Homelessness used to be *much *harder to slip into than it is now.

          I guess it depends on where you live. I can rent a 2 bed house for $550 within a 20 minute drive to a major state university. Although that small town kind of sucks, but cheap housing though!
