      Honey you need to take your own advice because that’s extremely short sighted and you’re prioritizing money over humans. Prisons are a constant drain on tax dollars that go towards a system designed to utilize as much as they can to profit off of prisoners. And when they leave they have an even harder time finding work or an apartment because now they have a record.

      Money spent in our communities goes back into the communities by hiring local labor and companies. And it makes the streets safer, cleaner, and these people safer and hopefully cleaner with access to one of the biggest hurdles for homeless individuals who do want to live in a different situation, an address, a place to store clean clothes, a place to shower. That is all a big hurdle in finding employment.

        I was making a point about why prison is more expensive, its because of who is getting paid

          I definitely interpreted what you said as like, complaining that housing them would cost money.

          I’m sorry it was first thing in the morning for me and an issue I may be a little sensitive to. It’s so disheartening hearing people care so little about the most vulnerable and struggling people in society. People whose suffering they can see, up close. And they are treated like vermin not humans.

          So yeah there I go again. I’m a little passionate about the subject lol. I apologize, especially for talking down to you like that. It was snotty.
