    Or, you know, actual homes.

    Shelters are often much more dangerous to the unhoused people than even sleeping on the street. Even when they aren’t, they’re usually extremely underfunded, overbooked, or both.

    It’s not that “some people like sleeping rough”, it’s that oftentimes that’s simply the least bad option.

      I agree but in many places they have housing shortages so I don’t think it’s likely they’ll give homes to the homeless. I’m not saying they shouldn’t (it would be really nice if the government could do something like this) but it’s not very likely to happen.
