That's why the biggest homeless populations are in states that give the most free stuff. If we put homeless people in a home they will still need to maintain the home i.e. utilities, wear and tear, cleanliness, mortgage etc. Most homeless people also don't have a job. Homeless people typically have at least one mental illness. They need therapy not housing. This also isn't going over the cost needed to fund the housing. The general answer on the left is have the rich pay for it but there is only so many things \"the rich\" will pay for before they decide enough is enough they are already taxed more than 60% granted they can widdle that down with write offs but I feel like taxes in general are un-American. We as a society have agreed that some taxation is necessary to fund police, firefighters, schools, government but most people just want to be left alone to live their life charity should not be state sponsored in my opinion that is what charities and religious institutions are for", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g473nuz", "text": "What about real estate is so evil?

Successful businesses are based off of proper risk mitigation to ensure you don\u2019t falter at the slightest economic downturn.\n\nProviding loans to people is a great service as it allows people who might take decades to afford a certain standard of living to get there sooner. Granted there needs to be balance so lenders are not over exposed and default, but that takes both the loan recipients to be financially literate and the lender to have a good screening process.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g476rmp", "text": "You can apply your line of thinking to any industry, from groceries to apparel to companies that manufacture eco-friendly bicycles.\n\nLike any large, diverse group of people, there are bad actors and good actors.
