RE: Not providing housing for the homeless is a human rights violation...
So many things in this time of plenty are unnecessary crimes. There have been a number of studies showing that housing the homeless is far better economically than paying out in welfare

Yeah the whole situation is a bit bizarre... But Im guessing free temporary housing for all those homeless people could disrupt the real estate market maybe? I could see how there might be a commercial interest in keeping the homeless, homeless? I mean follow the money, right?

Not just that, but if they had homes, they might get better health and an education. The gubberment would also have one less scapegoat
You are so right @ligayagardener!
We could also save tax money, sine these homeless cost a lot of tax-money because they usually end up being dragged away by police and potentially end up in the prison if they try to stand up for themselfs, and it is really expensive to keep an individual in prison...
You're right. Utah made this a fact. ;)
Really, thats good news @artopium!
