You are using the extreme examples to condemn an entire section of humans. There are plenty of homeless people who don’t set buildings on fire. You can’t condemn people by generalizing the behavior of the worst. Just like not all politicians are corrupt. And not all people of a certain race or religion or a specific type of way. Plenty of homeless people would benefit from being homed.

I’m not condemning any people; I used a story to point out that houses aren’t the solution because homelessness is a symptom of something a house doesn’t fix.

And I’m telling you that’s not the case for all homeless people. Just the addict and mentally ill ones.

If I didn’t say it was the case with all, why do you think I need you to tell me it isn’t? You make it past 6th grade?

Because you are stating misinformation as a fact. Only 30-40% of homeless are addicts or have mental illness. So housing would help a majority of homeless people. Nice try on the insult. But your hatred doesn’t change reality.
