Despite having many seemingly progressive views, many people who identify as liberal still support laws that make it illegal for the unhoused to exist in public spaces. The Onion asked liberals why they believe homelessness should be criminalized, and this is what they said.
“I’m fiscally liberal and socially a monster.” is going in the ol file cabinet.
“they are houseless, not homeless, a house is a building, a home is a community and ur close social connections” -actual thing i hear
We don’t live in a nomadic society, so a houseless person is going to be a homeless person anyways even by this pedantic distinction. Houseless but not homeless would largely be limited to people who just got evicted and have to stay at a motel.
