I for one believe that we should leverage the power of our community by offering tax credits to businesses that join a Housing Roundtable.
I think there should be a cultural shift away from the values that make homelessness desirable to these people
Indeed. I blame certain genres of music for this problem. If only kids listened to classical and 80s music.
👏 HOMELESSNESS 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 CHOICE 👏
We give them microloans for tiny homes.
Microloans are good. Let's channel the power of entrepreneurship. Let business do it's job.
Perfect solution! We just need an increase in public-private partnerships to convert shipping containers into affordable housing. With proper zoning changes and microloan-rental tax carve outs, these partnerships could offer competitive rental opportunities.
we give them to another country
edit: guys PLEASE stop calling me names I rent out property to tenants I’m doing my part
I swear, these entitled extremists want to lecture me on what I do with the poperties I purchased with my own hard work. I understand some people are doing it tough, but what can I do about it? Some people win and some people lose, that's life. Get a better job and buy a house if you don't like renting!
But every post on hexbear is made as a liberal???????????????
sigh... it's not my responsibility to educate you
Let me spell it out for the people in the back
We are liberals and believe in freedom!
I hope that helps
The best way to solve homelessness is to raise the price of housing. This will incentivize housing providers to provide more housing because they can collect more rent, and at the same time homeless people will be more likely to invest in housing if they see higher quarterly returns.
Ummmm sweaty it's up to the homeless to solve their own problems. We're a free country, not the Soviet Union. We can't just take away those homeless people's self determination. You have to be realistic.
Shame on us as a country for allowing even one child, or one family, to live in homelessness, because we didn't lift them up when something like COVID disrupted their lives. [link]
Send them all to Ukraine to fight ruzzia and putler! They'll be dead soon anyways from cold/ilness/drugs (all personal choices, it's not like they couldn't buy a home or not be sick if they worked as hard as I did) so why not conscripting them into the holesum reddit army
SLAVA COCAINI!
We solve it the way we solve every problem: With tax credits! We will give the homeless each a $3000 annual tax credit to put towards a home.
I swear, liberals almost sound as unhinged as 
when talking about their own tax code-based panaceas.
If we just add even more tax credits to real estate venture capital, we can finally fix the housing problem!
Even better than my idea.
Uhh, well, sweaty, we should get all the experts in the room, you know, and stakeholders, public and private, and some faith groups, and then have them write a white paper, and when that's done in 12-18 months we can roll up fat blunts with it and get stoned and laugh while we make up silly reasons to hike people's rents.
Yes! Drug use with rich people = cool and deep.
This skinny white mayor is progressive because he smokes joints with the attorney general who locks people up for smoking joints!
what crisis? i never see any unhoused folk in my cute little gated community 
One of those fucking socialist states like California, I think.
I think we need to make safe, stable housing a more attractive alternative than living on the streets. If we introduce stricter, more empathetic vagrancy laws that really deduce, identify and eliminate the crux of why rough sleeping is desirable, then, centerist paribus (all else being equal) people of homelessness will gravitate to the more preferable option.
Wow, this is a really kind and loving solution to a complicated problem. You really put homeless people first. I swear, you're 50% homeless in spirit, you really know what they want.
centerist paribus (all else being equal)
So ableist slur to have to translate the latin :(
Why not just make debt inheritable? That way people could get 100+ years mortgages that their kids will have to pay off.
The market will then make sure that banks put money for this promised profit toward housebuilding (supply, demand, etc.)
We need to educate these people on the risks associated with their drug use
Who's gonna pay for that education, tho? I pay $200,000 in taxes a year. (don't you dare ask what my income is)
By removing them from our downtown shopping center we can stimulate our local economy so that they can lift themselves out of homelessness.
Our local police forced removed the homeless from their encampment, thereby solving the problem!
Look, if we’re going to tackle homelessness, we have to use modern, forward-thinking solutions. We can’t just keep using the same old methods that our grandparents’ generation used. That’s why it’s crucial that we integrate AI-based programs to generate innovative ways to get people off the streets.
Actually, we don't need to.
Homelessness is unfortunately a small price to pay for our housing portfolios to truly pay dividends. If anything, we should be celebrating that our assets are hotter than ever! I suppose if those poors don't like it they can start their own businesses.
Well clearly the issue has NOTHING to do with housing costs cuz the only homeless people I notic... I mean, ever see, clearly have severe mental health problems. So the best solution is to chase them into the desert like lepers.
I feel really lucky to be in this community. This poster is so good at psychiatry, he can spot mental health issues from 100 metres.
I decided to consult the never ending hive of reactionary views that is 
for what they thought
Apparently there is an AskALiberal sub which had this exact question lmao
California need to change zoning laws faster and get more homes built, more shelters built and more drug treatment facilities built.
I'm sure that those zoning laws existing to prohibit construction of affordable housing is just an accident.
There isn't a one size fits all. For the truly destitute: governments housing. Most people will be helped with a combination of market based incentives and redirecting productivity to the middle class.
'Market based incentives' huh
There are some well meaning dweebs in there, but also some real 
Do you know how long it took from signing contract, submitting plans and start of digging on my pool? About 9 months.
God that poor man :'(
redirecting productivity to the middle class
Since 99% of Americans are middle class, this will solve the problem!
Let us have the geniuses of this country (Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos... etc) think about and let us actually follow what they say
We should remove all tax credits that benefit the homeless, thereby introducing a market incentive for them to get a house.
They just need more stimulation, then they'll be able to afford the market price of buying a home now.
I would establish an early voting program for homeless men who open a business providing services to any major movie production for the next 17 weeks, so the adults in the room can get more votes to help them.
I think we need to incentivize getting off the street with a voucher program where people of color can turn in their drugs and guns for a weekly housing voucher. The local prison can spruce up their extra cells and use them as housing.
Kill them.
I insist that we don't do this without access to a tribunal. The homeless need to provide their own legal representation, of course.
One word: ZONING
Wow, a lot to unpack here.
Here it goes: and you stop reading already.
I was reading about the housing crisis came across this genius solution: www.bazinga.com/3D-render-Apple-iCoffin-middle-of-woods
send them all to mexico as contestants in a ~~horrifying~~ amazing reality tv show about a tournament where participants fight to the death
And the winner will get a 5% rebate on a home purchase if they start a business in a disadvantaged community that lasts for 10 years.
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
