    Giving homeless people homes != “public housing”

    We do consider having a place to live a human right, but that doesn’t mean the houses are especially good or well maintained compared to commercial options.

    They aren’t always even the cheapest - those can usually be found from private renters who own one or two apartments they rent.

      Ok, so I have your apparent anecdotal experience, vs. hundreds of articles citing a ton of data. I think I’m gonna go with the latter, thanks.
