    Yeah. What I do when I’m out walking downtown, I carry a special measuring stick. Just wave it near a homeless person to calculate the value of their life. It’s the basic version, so it’s missing the autoeuthanize features, but it does make me feel better about myself just to have it.

      I have no idea what you’re talking about.

      There are actually two separate homeless issues. The first is a lack of services for people who just need a little help getting back on their feet. In this case, temporary housing is a way to treat the issue.

      But, the second homeless issue is way more complex. The chronically homeless aren’t just people who are down on their luck. They’re people with severe mental illness, drug addiction, or both. Some people straight up don’t want to be part of society at all. For those people, throwing housing at them isn’t going to be an end to their situation.
