I for one believe that we should leverage the power of our community by offering tax credits to businesses that join a Housing Roundtable.
I think there should be a cultural shift away from the values that make homelessness desirable to these people
Indeed. I blame certain genres of music for this problem. If only kids listened to classical and 80s music.
👏 HOMELESSNESS 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 CHOICE 👏
We give them microloans for tiny homes.
Microloans are good. Let’s channel the power of entrepreneurship. Let business do it’s job.
Perfect solution! We just need an increase in public-private partnerships to convert shipping containers into affordable housing. With proper zoning changes and microloan-rental tax carve outs, these partnerships could offer competitive rental opportunities.
we give them to another country
edit: guys PLEASE stop calling me names I rent out property to tenants I’m doing my part
I swear, these entitled extremists want to lecture me on what I do with the poperties I purchased with my own hard work. I understand some people are doing it tough, but what can I do about it? Some people win and some people lose, that’s life. Get a better job and buy a house if you don’t like renting!
But every post on hexbear is made as a liberal???
sigh… it’s not my responsibility to educate you
Let me spell it out for the people in the back
We are liberals and believe in freedom!
I hope that helps
The best way to solve homelessness is to raise the price of housing. This will incentivize housing providers to provide more housing because they can collect more rent, and at the same time homeless people will be more likely to invest in housing if they see higher quarterly returns.
Another issue is financial literacy. Homeless people don’t know how to maximise their rental income through application fees and credit checks.
Send them all to Ukraine to fight ruzzia and putler! They’ll be dead soon anyways from cold/ilness/drugs (all personal choices, it’s not like they couldn’t buy a home or not be sick if they worked as hard as I did) so why not conscripting them into the holesum reddit army
SLAVA COCAINI!
I’m sure they’d feel so proud to be sent into a Russian minefield :hugsz:
Ummmm sweaty it’s up to the homeless to solve their own problems. We’re a free country, not the Soviet Union. We can’t just take away those homeless people’s self determination. You have to be realistic.
Shame on us as a country for allowing even one child, or one family, to live in homelessness, because we didn’t lift them up when something like COVID disrupted their lives. [link]
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Uhh, well, sweaty, we should get all the experts in the room, you know, and stakeholders, public and private, and some faith groups, and then have them write a white paper, and when that’s done in 12-18 months we can roll up fat blunts with it and get stoned and laugh while we make up silly reasons to hike people’s rents.
Yes! Drug use with rich people = cool and deep.
This skinny white mayor is progressive because he smokes joints with the attorney general who locks people up for smoking joints!
We solve it the way we solve every problem: With tax credits! We will give the homeless each a $3000 annual tax credit to put towards a home.
I swear, liberals almost sound as unhinged as
when talking about their own tax code-based panaceas.If we just add even more tax credits to real estate venture capital, we can finally fix the housing problem!
Even better than my idea.
Look, if we’re going to tackle homelessness, we have to use modern, forward-thinking solutions. We can’t just keep using the same old methods that our grandparents’ generation used. That’s why it’s crucial that we integrate AI-based programs to generate innovative ways to get people off the streets.
We need to educate these people on the risks associated with their drug use
Who’s gonna pay for that education, tho? I pay $200,000 in taxes a year. (don’t you dare ask what my income is)
Why not just make debt inheritable? That way people could get 100+ years mortgages that their kids will have to pay off.
The market will then make sure that banks put money for this promised profit toward housebuilding (supply, demand, etc.)
what crisis? i never see any unhoused folk in my cute little gated community
One of those fucking socialist states like California, I think.
I think we need to make safe, stable housing a more attractive alternative than living on the streets. If we introduce stricter, more empathetic vagrancy laws that really deduce, identify and eliminate the crux of why rough sleeping is desirable, then, centerist paribus (all else being equal) people of homelessness will gravitate to the more preferable option.
Wow, this is a really kind and loving solution to a complicated problem. You really put homeless people first. I swear, you’re 50% homeless in spirit, you really know what they want.
centerist paribus (all else being equal)
So ableist slur to have to translate the latin :(
By removing them from our downtown shopping center we can stimulate our local economy so that they can lift themselves out of homelessness.
Our local police forced removed the homeless from their encampment, thereby solving the problem!
![[For this post, you're only allowed to comment as a liberal] Guys, how do we solve the homelessness crisis?](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/89658f01-be5d-4464-b2a9-140057d698fa.jpeg){kind=link}
