That sounds like an excuse for him. He is a drug addict, he doesn't really have a choice. First you get people of the streets, then you give them treatment for drugs. People in high stress situations are far more likely to get and stay addicted.

Could also just be the fact that those housing projects aren't well-maintained or well-run. A lot of homeless people don't like places like that because they're just one step removed from a slum. I know the Section 8 housing in my city is generally pretty shitty, and a well-kept tent would be more comfortable - to say nothing of landlords looking for any excuse to get rid of you or calling the police at the drop of a hat.

High level mom energy. If these people want to live their lives this way you should let them.

Also in Finland's case - they provide apartments, not prisons, nobody is being sentenced to having an apartment.
