Are you someone who's uncomfortable with homeless shelters or encampments near your home/work/kid's school/parent's longterm care home?

Here's the answer to ending homelessness that you've been looking for:
Universal Basic Income & Guaranteed Low Cost Housing

No one chooses to live on the street. And no, choosing the street over a worse option is not actually choosing the street.

UBI provides every person with the money they need to survive, and low cost housing puts them literally in a place where they can begin a new life.

Opposing UBI while complaining about homeless people is like opposing abortion and also opposing contraception. Both positions are like complaining about the snow in the house while refusing to shut the doors and windows.

(Yeah, I know that tooting this on Mastodon is preaching to the choir, but I had to vent.)
