    “Solved homelessness”

    Hardworking people got more shitty neigbours… Thats not a solution, its just moving the problem inside.

    We have this shit in sweden and I have observed it up close. Fucker didn’t want to work nor get clean. He was comfortable with his daycare for adults… They have this thing called work training - building products that no one buys to practice working…

    Had a contact that could get him a job, he just said thats for idiots and I’m not and an idiot. Rather do his work training than get a real job and a real salary…

    He’s dead now, killed him self with an overdoze from the anxiety medicine they prescribed to him.

    So these things looks good on paper, but in real life not so much. Hope he’s and exception and not the rule.

    I personally dont believe in it, I was on the same path once. Some hard truths got me on the right path again, worked hard, took alot of shit and today cant recognize my old self.

      They solved his immediate problem of being homeless. I’d rather have a few shitty neighbors than to have people living and dying because they lack shelter.

      I can see how a single case you experienced delegitimize the whole system.

      To be fair, we have the same system and I never had someone like that as a neighbor. So it is a flawless system.

      Avoiding having shitty neighbors is definitely a good reason to have people piss, shit and die in the streets. Good point there.

        I would say “Avoiding having shitty neighbors is definitely a good reason to keep people shitty and in shitty conditions resulting in shitty deaths”.

          True, but it sounds like their real problem is “socialism.”

          They’ ll just do that but inside.

          That sounds like a good thing? Shitting inside instead of on the street?

          Do you like stepping in human shit or something?

      And his life would have been even worse if he was on the street. I honestly don’t see the problem in this story. Someone with mental health issues had a place to live? Ended up dying to suicide? It’s a sad story but also the housing doesn’t seem at fault at all?

          1. ideally like everyone has access to housing so there’s no “taking up space”?

          2. how do you know it was a waste of time? maybe he has loved ones who he supported and brightened the loved ones, maybe if his mental health were better supported he would have thrived? not everything is about working. his life was not a waste of time, and even if he died, I’m sure it was better to die having housing than to die on the street, forgotten and discarded.

            1. Dont agree, in a big city with demand bigger than the supply. So many people had to stand aside for people like him to not pay rent on time, get evicted for drinking. Its not fair.
            2. We all tried our best, but he was just selfish and didnt want to change nor be a grownup. His daughter just wasted 10 years waiting for the call or the ring on the door until it came.

              If there’s a program that is supposed to provide housing for everyone, and there aren’t enough houses … it’s the government’s fault for the wait list, not the individual.

      i’m genuinely happy you were able to get yourself together.

      just know that there are any number of reasons someone else might not have your strength or capacity for change, or might not yet have reached a readiness for change like you did.
