    The top is meant to represent the socialist solution to homelessness. These are socialist block apartments built to ensure that everyone had housing because homelessness was a huge problem. They were functional, but because they were built to functionally address a need quickly, they weren’t large or luxurious. They were built to last and the rent levels were controlled at a low rate if the people didn’t outright own the place themselves.

    The bottom picture is the liberal solution to homelessness. Apartments suck, fuck the homeless, jack up the rent prices. The convenience of the few is prioritized over the needs of the many.

    Funny how someone who is mentally 12 could put this together, but you couldn’t be bothered.

      your average homeless will sell the house in 5 microseconds for crack money or sign it away under duress.

      homeless people need safer shelters, healthcare, detoxing, therapy, coaching and resources to help them out of the downward spiral they are in.

      throwing free housing to vulnerable people suffering from addiction and mental illnesses is one of the stupidest things I have heard.
