its literally just the logical conclusion of your original statement. So, how do landlords provide housing?

You're reaching for the stars mate, not even close to being logical

Aight ur trolling, bye.

tankies scare is real bc im bad at arguing points

You putting words into my mouth to start a debate but i'm trolling

Disagree completely. It wasn't solved 100% in the USSR and that isn't meant to be a criticism of socialism, but a testament to the problem's inherent persistence.

Government can't solve d*** addiction, domestic issues leading to child homelessness, and mental illnesses so severe reality is lost.

You can build all the facilities you want, but people will slip through the cracks because implementation on a scale so big can never be perfect.

You expected a Communist to be fond of landlords?

I mean most Americans don't make enough to outright buy a house. But some have the means to buy several proprieties and rent them to people who cant afford a mortgage payment.

Damn

It was as close to 100% solved in the USSR as it ever has been anywhere with the exception of maybe Cuba.

you said landlords provide people with housing

im asking you to expand on why you think that is

Theres documented cases of homelessness there and I don't trust whatever soviet bureau of statistics that was putting out those numbers.

You're not wrong here. It can of course be helped much more than where we are at now, but there will always be people who reject help. Whether it be through mental health issues, d**** etc. You can offer help, but not every person will take that help. This will always be the case.

That doesn't mean they provide people with places to live.

they gobble up properties and then exploit a failure in the system. the housing is there regardless of if we have landlords or not.

mental illnesses don't make people homeless on their own.

same with child homelessness. there is nothing necessitating that certain domestic issues lead to child homelessness and even then there's no reason to believe we can't solve those issues.

I somewhat agree but fear that you’d just be substituting one form of evil ‘landlord’ with another (I.e Evil government)

yes but we cant build a 250,000 house and sell it off for 30k.

And if you sign a contract saying you will pay XXX and month in exchange for said property, then the landlord in sense is providing housing in exchange for payment. just as any bank would do.

Mental health issues do absolutely cause homelessness. The issues lead them into d**** or the d**** lead them into mental health issues and lead to homelessness. This happens alot. It is not simply a case of building more houses or offering health care because these people can reject that help. There is not magical cure for mental health issues and addictions. It is destructive and cannot just be stopped as easy as you are suggesting. Some people will never recover from mental health issues and addiction. They will continue down a destructive path regardless of the help you offer.

Yea it does my dude lmao.

There are families everyday who stop supporting their mentally ill relatives out of the burden and eventually lose touch with them. There are cases everyday of abusive guardians/parents and broken home situations where the kid just ends up living home and never going back or is outright abandoned.

There's a difference between helping this and completely solving it. You have a lot of faith in governement.

im talking about removing any sort of monied/profit motive altogether. i don't think mortages/rent, landlords etc., should be a thing. you should literally just have a house.

and im saying those things don't necessitate homelessness. they lead to homelessness in the current structure of our society.

i have faith in the people and communities.

so people are just going to build houses for free? Will the government pay the workers to build the houses and the materials needed?

how would water, power, Internet be supplied

not everything can be free, there needs to be some medium of exchange for services to work, otherwise no one would be there to operate said services because no one would be making money

no one has reason to work if money or profit isn’t a thing lol

We have safety nets and a system right now both inside and outside of government in different parts of the country that are meant to combat child/general homelessness/drug addiction/and mental illness.

They are not taken advantage of enough and have no where close to a good success rate. It's not the fault of their own either.

You can have faith in communities. The system can be improved so much and many lives saved from the streets. But to eradicate all homelessness like you say? No. And you claim it is easy. You fail to understand just how bad mental health issues and addictions are among the homeless. It is deeply ingrained into them. Give them a house and they will burn it down. Send them into hospital and they will fight it. The issue to taking these people off the streets would be to lock them up and force treatment on them, but they will often fall straight back into it when they get out.
