On the Finnish homelesness part: you’re spouting misinfo, knowingly or unknowingly. Our system doesnt buy houses or apartments to anyone.
Every homeless person though IS offered a flat in a socially subsidized, very cheap price as part of a social program and/or place in a substance abuse coliving program-type of thing (not sure on the spesifics of those).
Its weird how there’s so much misinformation about Finland in Lemmy these days, like were some magical egelitarian happy-land. No, we just pay our taxes and have built up a social security net, though thats actively being dismantled by our right wing government these days.
