[–] schroedingershat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Norway has much much lower homeless proportion than more neoliberal countries. It is a prime example of this strategy working. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] trias10@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Maybe, but even Norway has hardly stamped out homelessness completely. Far from it actually, there are some parts of Oslo which have immensely high levels of homelessness. Not as bad Skid Row in LA, but not far behind either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] schroedingershat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Hahaha! Doing that thing you said (but still with some hoops for mental healthcare and housing) only makes it way better! Check-mate! Let's double down on spending ten times as much pujishing the homeless for being homeless! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] trias10@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I'm afraid you genuinely lost me. I said I'm all for free mental healthcare and housing, but even these don't seem to solve the problem. Nor does just throwing money at the problem. So I have no ideas for how to solve the issue, besides maybe just dismantling capitalism entirely, but this also comes with problems. permalink fedilink source parent
