  1. ideally like everyone has access to housing so there's no "taking up space"?

  2. how do you know it was a waste of time? maybe he has loved ones who he supported and brightened the loved ones, maybe if his mental health were better supported he would have thrived? not everything is about working. his life was not a waste of time, and even if he died, I'm sure it was better to die having housing than to die on the street, forgotten and discarded.

  1. Dont agree, in a big city with demand bigger than the supply. So many people had to stand aside for people like him to not pay rent on time, get evicted for drinking. Its not fair.
  2. We all tried our best, but he was just selfish and didnt want to change nor be a grownup. His daughter just wasted 10 years waiting for the call or the ring on the door until it came.

If there's a program that is supposed to provide housing for everyone, and there aren't enough houses ... it's the government's fault for the wait list, not the individual.
