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 don't know if I'm down for the idea of freely choosing to live on the streets, since that presents an immediate hazard to a person's life.

      Currently, certainly. As I said, I feel it's entirely possible to build our public spaces so as to accommodate the vanishingly few people who would choose to live such a life even once the other difficulties inherent to acquiring housing under capitalism were eliminated.
