Just buy a house and don't deal with landloards?
If I was homeless I would simply buy a house
I'd rather download one, the current real estate system has too much Domicile Rights Management tech built into it
If I would own property I would just gift it to some random drug addict
Yes all homeless people are drug addicts. Now do an entire race of people.
The drug addict part was just a hyperbole and had nothing to do with my thought, but let me correct:
I work 40 years of my life to be able to buy another house. Why should I gift it to some random dude?

Nobody is asking to solve the homeless problem by advocating for people to literally buy a house and gift it to someone. We can solve this problem with public housing and split the cost among all of society, without the profit motive driving up prices.
Who is asking you to pay for someone else's home lmfao? Do you mean via taxes? Because that's pennies my guy. If you're gonna huff at helping people in need with your tax dollars (which by the way stimulates the economy when we invest in equity I.e. Helps YOU) then you should not be living in a collective society. You my friend have what is called crab mentality, in other words "fuck you I got mine" because some pennies is too much for you.
My favorite thing is people that complain about cities and their homeless crisis then when actual simple solutions are posed it's "no I ain't paying for that." it's like people wanna see others punished because they ended up where they did.
Why do you own property you can give away? Do you own property you aren't using?
Yes i get that, but if i buy a house and rent it out i have to take the risk that the house is fucked afterwords, i have to fix stuff and i want to be compensated for my effort, therefore i have to charge adequate rent. Why am i not allowed to charge enough to cover my costs?
Because being a landlord isn't labor. "Risk" isn't labor, it's gambling and creates no value. If you're genuinely running a non-profit, cool! But we all know that's not what landlords do.
If they're starving for bread, then why don't they eat cake?
Yes i am from austria
This might sound crazy, but a lot of (maybe even most) people can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of [currency] for a house, even if they qualify for a mortgage.
This does not sound crazy, but why do I have to pay for them?
