And how does that help? You're just sending anyone undesirable to prison?

How about, and this is a wild idea, we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that?

Who is "we" in this context?

People who realize housing people is cheaper than jailing them.

How is it in any way cheaper. I mean yes, if you ship people to middle america it will be. But touting a "right" to housing in SF is preposterous, at $1000 / sq ft (and will only go up with more demand).

Jails are more expensive to construct, are staffed, and also take up space like other forms of real estate.

What is stopping the group of people who realize this from housing people?

The fetishization of "law and justice" in the United States and the world?

As a species it seems we enjoy jailing the "undesirables" rather than tolerating them and understanding them.
