You’ve taken the comic way too literally. Homelessness is a policy choice, and politicians are responsible for failing to allocate funds towards prevention, housing, etc. That applies to politicians at every level of government, with varying levels of responsibility/ability.
Reality is more complicated than you’re viewing it.
junkies and other socially unfit people
You don’t seem to understand what leads a person to do drugs either.
The financially wise decision is to house people, keep them fed, and in good health. Because when politicians let housing get fucked, when they let people starve, when they let them be ill, you get problems that get expensive in the form of prison time, police budgets, and crime rates. This is an area where doing the morally right thing is the most cost effective thing. Dehumanizing people as “junkies” and “socially unfit” just makes everything worse, for yourself included.

Feel free to invest into housing and then practice what you preach.
Also, I’m not dehumanizing junkies and socially unfit people. They’re definitely human. Being human however does not entitle you to free shift from people who are actually functional.
If anything, it’s the people who say we should give them a home and food that are the ones who do the dehumanizing, treating them like pets that shouldn’t be left outside in the cold.

This problem can’t be solved by personal behavior.

You are demeaning people as “junkies and socially unfit”. That’s dehumanization.

They aren’t pets, nor are they being treated as such. Your jump to calling them pets further shows how you see them as less than human.
Stop putting words in my mouth, I did say they were biologically human.
You’re the one looking to treat them like pets. I have 4 cats that I house, feed and take care of. Brought them from outside for 3 of them and one from a shelter. This is what you want to do to actual human beings.
House them, feed them, care for them. Like a pet. You’re a sick fuck.

You’re the one using dehumanizing words like junkie and social unfit. I don’t need to put words in your mouth. You’re doing it all on your own.
I already rebutted this.
I sincerely hope you’re just a troll instead of being this maliciously dishonest.
Every negative term is dehumanizing now? Lmao.
Again, they are human beings. However that doesn’t somehow entitle them to free shit from everyone else.
