Does anyone ever hear this one? It doesn't make sense to me. Why do we need the option to be homeless? Do you want to be Diogenes or what?

    I've never heard that argument before, that's absurd. Providing someone with housing is not the same as forcing them to live in it. If housing was universal, the vanishingly small number of people who'd prefer to be homeless could still choose to live that way, while the vast majority of people who prefer to have a home would now have one. Seems like a pretty bad faith argument
