This uninformed, ignorant, and misguided individual known as @Teop_Versant Thinks that many homeless people choose to be homeless, and thus, giving them houses isn't warranted. So stupid.

@Radical_EgoCom My oldest brother did. He does not like to take orders, from anybody. Momma messed him up. Also, many people choose homelessness because they are embarrassed by mental disease. Like the person voted most likely to succeed, but ended-up living on the street. The topic is to vast to think housing will cover it all.

@Teop_Versant The statement "many people choose homelessness because they are embarrassed by mental disease" is a broad claim that lacks sufficient evidence. You're generalizing the complex reasons for homelessness based on a narrow perspective, and your reliance on the personal anecdote of your brothers experience over general data on homelessness is fallacious.

@Radical_EgoCom Perhaps you should go on the street and find out for yourself.

@Radical_EgoCom Definitely confusing "don't want to go to a shelter, cause they're not at all safe" with "choosing homelessness"

@Teop_Versant Perhaps you should do basic research on the homelessness problem instead of falsely assuming that most homeless people choose to be homeless.

@Teop_Versant sounds like you're confusing people who avoid religious extremist charities with people who want to be homeless. Which is the most generous stretch I can read into this otherwise very dumb argument @Radical_EgoCom

@nus @Radical_EgoCom My point is simple, everybody does not fit into a category. These are people, with total different thoughts to you.

@Radical_EgoCom @nus Are you aware that homeless people actually avoid shelters because they are not safe? How do you address safety with regards to housing?

@Teop_Versant @nus Yes, many homeless individuals avoid shelters due to safety concerns such as theft, violence, and lack of privacy. To address safety in housing solutions for the homeless, measures such as enhanced security, installment of privacy spaces, on-site support services, staff training, increased community involvement, and receiving feedback from the homeless individuals can make homeless shelters a more welcoming and supportive environments for those in need.

@Teop_Versant @nus What shouldn't be done is to deny homeless individuals a place to stay based on the assumption that most of them choose to be homeless, which is irrelevant when it comes to their safety and well-being

@Radical_EgoCom @nus You are making the most of the term, "most". Kinda cheezy. Some of them actually choose to be homeless. That is a fact.

@Teop_Versant @nus 1. You haven't provided any evidence to support that claim, and 2. Even if you did prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that most homeless individuals do indeed choose to be homeless, that doesn't at all justify not giving them proper homes to live in. If I were presented with a bunch of homeless individuals who chose to be homeless, I would try to figure out what it is about the homes they were presented with that caused them to prefer homelessness over them, and then do...

@Radical_EgoCom @nus I am not trying to be difficult. But it is a much bigger conversation than simply providing housing. They need a whole host of services and support.

@Teop_Versant @nus Yes, services and support need to be provided in addition to providing them with houses, but the point of the original post was that, generally speaking, if a person is lacking something, and them lacking that thing is a problem, then the solution is to give that person that thing, that thing in this case being housing, proper housing with the necessary services and support, but housing nonetheless.

@Teop_Versant @nus I'm going to assume that you haven't talked to all of them, so you can't come to a conclusion about all homeless people based on the limited number of homeless people you talked to. You're suggesting that I talk to homeless people? I will if I have an opportunity to, but you should do research on the homeless population and the homeless crises in order to gain a broader and more scientifically accurate perspective on this issue.

@Radical_EgoCom @nus I get the logic. But a lot of people like myself are aware that giving a homeless person a house, does not solve the problem. For a family, I say yes by all means a house will help a homeless family. But not a homeless person. I am assuming the house comes with free utilities. Your point is that you have to start somewhere, I get that. But its almost similar to convincing society that home ownership is best for everybody. Not true.

@Teop_Versant @nus Why on earth do you think that a house would help a family but not a person. That doesn't even make any logical sense. Of course, the house would have proper utilities, whether it be for one or several people. And let's say, hypothetically, that the house didn't have proper utilities for some reason outside of anyone's control. So what? Would it be preferable to put the homeless person back on the street instead of letting them live in a not perfect house?

@Radical_EgoCom @nus You want to take people who are now free to roam, and put them into a box and tell them that is what is best for them. You might wanna rethink that.

@Teop_Versant @nus Don't strawman my position. I don't want to force anyone to do anything. I would like for homeless people to be provided the option of a proper home to live in if they so choose.

@Radical_EgoCom @Teop_Versant @nus Pretty sure they aren't putting anyone in a box. Seemed they were just saying give homeless people some options for housingSome people could had very well chose homelessness, ever heard of people running away incliding children. Which should be a top priority to make sure are not homeless.But to say that a majority has chosen homelessness is an over stretch.
