I agree with your point but we should avoid equivocating our words. The capitalists sees housing as a financial investment while we see it as an investment in the well being of the person/community. Housing may give a “return” on the productivity of the workforce, but we should house people regardless of financial incentive.

No I am just pointing out the absurdity of it all. I am not providing economic justification to do it, it’s right regardless.
The arguments people give against it, at least the ones they ADMIT to… are wrong.
It’s not expensive at all. It has an economic return. Health care, education, welfare… it’s economically productive.
It’s idiotic in every way to not do it.
This is the kind of argument that needs to be made to win over those that hate the homeless.
Bourgois economics are a smokescreen to justify the actions of the ruling class with big pseudo-scientific words. Just as kings of old used religion to justify their place at the top. Pro-homeless policies are class warfare.
@knfrmity
They are using economics as a reason AGAINST it, not for it.
Turn it on them, watch them squirm.
Yes, it is class warfare. It’s punching down for personal satisfaction as well.
Edit: Tut tut, taking a swipe at me then blocking me so you don’t have to admit you read between the lines. made incorrect assumptions about me and what I said is shameful. You took a wrong turn at facebook dot com.

Ah, I see. The economic argument falls apart by its own terms. Fair point.
