Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Just remember: there are over 23 vacant homes per homeless person in the land of the free. 🤢
And the best solution to homelessness is to house people. Does it solve all homelessness? No it doesn't. Addiction services and mental health services will go even further to solve homelessness.
You will never get 100% of the people off the streets, but there are a few very simple solutions that can drastically reduce the numbers.
Of course, all of that requires raising taxes, so it almost never happens.
Well, that depends who you ask. There are a lot of corporations who count on the penal system’s forced labor. Could you imagine what reduced incarceration of addicts and the unhoused would do to their margins?
What’s nuts is it doesn’t require raising taxes, our government is absurdly bloated and lots of people have strong incentives to keep it that way
Land of the free ^(^^to^ ^make^ ^sure^ ^other^ ^people^ ^can't^ ^have^ ^homes^ ^because^ ^human^ ^society^ ^is^ ^purposefully^ ^about^ ^exploitation^^)^.
Those aren't houses, they're investments! /s
More like the land where you're free to fuck off and die in a gutter.
Barbaric and inexcusable
🇺🇸 NUMBER ONE! 🇺🇸
the best country in the world!
totally a democracy!
If they have over 650k why are they living on the streets?
Damn beat me to it
That's the number of homeless people, not the amount of money that homeless people have.
Perhaps their comment was just a hint at the general decline in journalistic quality through a subtle reference to a missing comma.
If they all as one dollar to the pot they could buy one house
I'm told that if they didn't eat avocado toast and put $20 in their savings account every week from the day they turned 18, all of those homeless people could afford houses by now.
Oh boy, 7 grand by the time they’re 25.
Yeah that’ll help
I'm guessing two massive, extremely destructive hurricanes will not help with that.
Its the dream!
So terrible to see for US.
