    The problem is many of them can’t manage themselves never mind a home. Sticking them in a house and walking off isn’t doing anyone a favor. How would they even pay for utilities, upkeep, and property taxes? We can’t afford to subsidize everything, many of us are struggling to get by ourselves. They’d need jobs to sustain themselves and I doubt many of them could hold a job or qualify for much. Also this just lumps every house in the US into a single category. If you are in CA and refuse to move to Detroit then it doesn’t matter how many available homes there are in Detroit.

      You shouldn’t pay for it. Landlords with plenty of housing under their belt and billionaires, though…

      I’m pretty sure plenty of homeless people would take what they’re offered. If they don’t - it’s up to them, but an offer must be made.

      I lost track of how many reasons you listed for not helping.

      I challenge you to give us three solutions using the knowledge imparted in this post.

        Unrealistic “solutions” are not helping. Everything I said has been pointed out even by advocates and those that work with the homeless. Post here how you would create a working plan.

          You seem very determined to not have any solutions even if some very baseline options are offered to you.

          “No you” is a silly response for an adult.

            Well “No you” is essentially what you said so own it. Instead of addressing my points you attacked the messenger. A childish move.
