Your initial comment read like, “we shouldn’t provide access to housing for anyone because some don’t actually want it.”

I believe a better solution would be, “we should provide access to housing and if some don’t want it, they won’t be forced to use it.”

It’s definitely a complex issue, but the first step should be compassion and not eliminating practical options because they might not suit a small subset of the population.

I’m curious then, you seem to know the thoughts and experience of unhoused people, yet you’re saying you haven’t conversed with them. How did you form such an opinion?

You have had conversations with many unhoused people and they’ve indicated they would much rather prefer sleeping in places with little security, a high risk of their few possessions being stolen, and little protection from the elements, to a safe, stable place of residence?

I’m quite skeptical.
