Just stop being homeless.

Just buy a home.
Are they gonna lock him up in a house and provide food
Really, how does this play out in states that made homelessness illegal? Like healthcare in America it's another example of our leader's stubbornness that makes our problems worse and more expensive. I guess that's the price of "owning the libs"
Well, you lock them up, use them as slave labour, and then bill them for the cost of their imprisonment once they're released
They are pushed to live under more hostile conditions until they die out or are exploited for slave labor in jails.
The liberal party in Germany is tossing the idea around that recipients of social security shouldn’t get their actual rent paid (within reasonable limits), but just a flat rate. This is supposed to allow them the decision to cough up more money of their own for a better apartment or to downsize and have more money to spare.
Given the housing prices, I think we’ll have quite a rise in homeless’ wealth, should this ever get through parliament.
I think so long as: —
a) it's based on the average rent for the area,
b) they give everyone at least 3 months' notice, and
c) there's extra help for those struggling to find cheaper (and reasonable) accommodation (including footing extra to cover their current rent if necessary)
then I think it could work. I'm open to having my mind changed though.
Under the current system, recipients of social security get their rent paid according to an allowed flat size (e.g. 60m² for two people) and the regional average rent. Now “Lindner [head of the liberal party] wants to save billions using the new approach.” “Recipients should not get their rent covered based on the actual cost, but via a flat rate.” (paraphrased from https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/lindner-buergergeld-ukrainer-100.html; German).
You can guess how well that will go with
it’s based on the average rent for the area,
and
there’s extra help for those struggling to find cheaper […] accommodation
Lindner is famous for his (paraphrased) statement “the markets will solve this”. Rents have skyrocketed just like anywhere else. Now he doesn’t want to regulate the housing market, but wants to regulate the spending on those who already can’t afford housing. It’s disgusting.
