    For reference, it would have costed like 75% of that to end homelessness :agony-minion:

    Yeah, no homelessness in the so-called "greatest country on earth" AND it would be sweet revenge against the monsters that fucked up the economy in 2008 AND got away with it.

    "BuT sOmEoNe ElSe Is PaYiNg FoR iT". Do these idiots even know how much of a financial drain allowing homelessness IS!? Every homeless person costs taxpayers an average of 35k a year. There are roughly 550k homeless people in the US. Let's do some math.

    If ONE homeless person costs taxpayers as a whole 35,000 dollars a year. There are 550,000 homeless people, then that means homelessness costs roughly 19 BILLION dollars A YEAR. Ending homelessness will pay for itself in less than a decade. WTF, I thought our opponents were all prodigies in economics?
