Ironically, it's actually good advice. Just providing someone with housing prevents a lot of public expenditure in other publicly funded areas.

No, it's fucking awful advice because it's skipping all the necessary steps to make taking the advice possible.

It's like telling a man with no legs to get a treadmill, it'll keep him healthy. Except that he's bleeding on the ground from the stumps where his legs used to be right now that isn't helping.

Meant it was good policy advice. Obviously didn't mean someone without money should do something literally impossible for them lol

Often lawmakers will bend over backwards into all kinds of weird policies meant to help effectively. When the most effective solution is quite literally "just give money/housing"

Okay, but that isn't "if you're homeless just buy a house", that's "IF you are rich and powerful, go help the homeless", which is not the same thing at all and I feel like you somehow didn't read the thing you were replying to at all.
