What's sad to me is how much effort, time, and research we have to put in to prove this to people.
I could tell this was inhuman when I was a child, and all through my youth, I was given all kinds of excuses for it, usually amounting to "because capitalism." Well I'm old enough to know all that bullshit was lies and I didn't need a 337-page fucking report to figure it out.
This isn't meant to say anything negative about the people who would make such a report: they made the report because they give a damn. Good on them for putting the work in.
It's an indictment on the rest of humanity that we need to go to these lengths to prove to them that this isn't just hurtful, it's also backward, unnecessary, and causes great social harm that reverberates far beyond the homeless themselves.
