I know rhasspy can do this to an extent. What’s your use case?

Exactly. It’s not hard to keep the exterior of those buildings looking nice. You just have to pay someone to maintain it.

The entire post is about low income housing as a solution to people sleeping in tents. Building more apartments won’t stop people from living in tents.

Pointing out that it’s a complex issue that isn’t solved by more houses is pretty much the opposite of a strawman

That’s definitely fair. I just know that whenever someone says, “I hate X type of beer,” they typically mean they haven’t had one that suits their palate yet.

You’re more than welcome to look up statistics. ~60% of the chronicly homeless have life long mental health issues, and ~80% have substance abuse issues.

Pretty much every city/state has resources to help the homeless, but the homeless have to be willing to accept the help. Most shelters are drug free, so addicts don’t want to stay there and they won’t accept people whose mental illness makes them violent.

You can’t force a person to take their medicine or stop doing drugs unless you want to start building more prisons.

Again, I was never saying that all homelessness is a choice, but a lot of people choose not to accept the help that’s available.

Source: My wife has her masters in the field and used to work with these populations as an addiction counselor, in Texas, so I know that resources exist at a state level even in a state that clearly hates it’s citizens.

For many it literally is a choice, and framing homelessness as something that no one has control over is problematic.

I’m a liberal, buddy. Homelessness is a very complex issue that won’t be solved by building more housing.

There’s also the third group of people who realizes that homelessness is a complex problem that won’t be solved by more housing.

I’m not a brewer, but I’m assuming that the process is slightly different. Try a sour from a company that’s known for making sours. There are a lot of very delicious ones out there.

Personal preference is now fact, apparently.

That’s a bad take.

It’s trying to say that low income housing is the solution to homelessness.

It’s wrong, but that’s the point it’s trying to make.

It’s also forgetting that a significant portion of homeless people are homeless by choice, or are homeless for reasons that just providing housing won’t resolve.

People have this idea that all homeless people are just regular people who experienced hard times, but that’s just a minority. Most homeless are mentally ill people who won’t take their meds or drug addicts who aren’t willing to quit.

It sucks, and they shouldn’t have to live on the streets, but you can’t force people to change.

I had to get them custom made on Etsy. $45ish each, but 100% worth it. I highly advise against most synthetic fabrics, though.

I have some micromodal ones that are nice, but nothing performs like wool. I’ll take them off at the end of the day and they’ll be wet from sweat, but my skin is dry.

And that’s saying something, because I have hyperhydrosis.

Jockstraps don’t go in your butt crack, though. Thongs act like a sweat wick.

LPT: Thongs are the cure for swamp-ass. If you can, get some wool ones.

Many classical composers were basically like pets rich people owned (sponsored).

Lol, thinking opera composers were rich people.

Right? Any relationship takes work to maintain, so expecting things to just magically work without putting in any effort is a recipe for disappointment.

Also, the whole opposites attract thing is kinda bullshit when you look at 40+ year marriages.
