“Three hots and a cot” on the government dime only shifts the problem into tax-funded institutions.

First - it doesn't matter. Keep the streets clean and safe. That is the MOST BASIC responsibility of any government, and the USA is failing at it, badly.

Second - serious enforcement of vagrancy (with the threat of being sent to CCC style camps far in the country to serve their terms) would motivate at least 80% of homeless to find someplace/anyplace to live.

One Finnish winter would solve our homeless problem.

Exactly what I was thinking. They wouldn’t survive the winter.

I spent a week in Helsinki a couple of years ago. I would agree vagrancy is handled differently there. Also, you don’t find any drug culture. I think the weather also impacts people...they don’t hang out on the street corners.

For that you need a lack of diversity, and you need to keep the drugs out.

"It will provide up to £500,000 ($637,000) of flexible seed funding in each of the six locations – which will be announced later this week – to support projects, and findings from the program will be used to create a model that can be used elsewhere across the UK and internationally."

In other words it hands out half a million slush fund to liberal ideologs to dream up their fantasy socialist paradise living structure, which they can foist upon the world.

Half a million is not enough to actually build or house one single person, when you deduct the 70% overheard for the government to 'administer the program'

Just another do-gooder, virtue-signaling program designed to endear himself to his father’s subjects. It won’t work, of course, and cost billions of pounds of taxpayer money. But the loyal British press will say At least he tried and He really cares. And then Kate will flash a bit of leg, and all will be good.

Fewer than 6 million population, all white, socialist health care, ample abortions, and happy pills for everyone?…

It’s cold in Finland. People go indoors or die.

“It’s cold in Finland. People go indoors or die.”

Homelessness has become a huge problem in Alaska, I’ve heard. Even when I lived there in the ‘70s & ‘80s, there was homelessness.

Who’s going to live as homeless in a country part way into the Arctic Circle?

What an idiot.

If he is so concerned about homeless Brits, why has the cat got his tongue with regard to uncontrolled illegal immigration into the UK...?

From this UK link...

Long-term international migration, provisional: year ending December 2022

...In 2022, long-term immigration into the UK was an estimated 1.2 million. This is an estimated increase of 221,000 compared with 2021 (942,000). This 2021 figure has been revised upwards (from 895,000 to 942,000)...

Holy merde.

Oh, Willy...

My impression....there’s no law to prevent vagrancy, but the police tend see the individual just loitering around, and then start asking questions. If you show alcohol or drug issues...you get picked-up and taken to the station. If you seem a bit unbalanced, you get a ride to a clinic to be examined. I’d just say they are more proactive than anyplace I’ve ever been.

I didn’t see the tail end of this but I would imagine there’s some fenced-in facility where you might remain a couple of weeks or months.

15 minute cities. Perhaps he and his family should live in one of these to show how great they are.

Finland has a small, educated, and low-crime white population, you can’t compare that to the British or American populations.
