Why is Brazil all by their lonesome?

And what considered vacant in this context? Do Airbnbs count as vacant or occupied, for example?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Having said that in the UK at least - and I imagine everywhere - we ended homelessness during covid.

Finns don't live in trees. They had to build those houses in the first place. That's the clear implied first step for solving so many of the issues of Ireland, Britain, America, Canada, etc...


I will say, go back to just before covid and we had similar policies locally here. Newcastle had a zero homelessness policy. If you were homeless go to them and they would sort you out.
Things have changed for the worse since sadly.


edit- incidentally. Wow Malta. Would have thought that'd be a popular second home place :hmm:

You don't think a living wage could have prevented them from being homeless?
Well no.  A living wage doesn't help people who do not have a job.

Why do you even post here?

This is the post you choose as a hook for bullying?  Raz pointing out something that should be too obvious to need pointing out, but apparently isn't obvious enough to you?

I also like how you ignored the "prevented" part of my post lol.

Passing a living wage law would not give people without jobs a job.  More the opposite.

Zoupa

Passing a living wage law would reduce the amount of people becoming homeless because they can't afford housing.

Some homeless people had jobs before they became homeless.  Some did not.  The people who did not, the ones Raz was talking about, would not have benefited.

Property prices in Rio de Janeiro have been falling, and there is a lot of internal migration in Brazil.
And emigration, obviously. Brazilians have a gateway into Europe through Portugal. Which I think is good. They also emigrate to Nottingham Forest in numbers.  :lol:

I honestly didn't think that what I was saying was so controversial.  
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's pretty difficult to have or find a job if you don't have a roof. Raz was being deliberately obtuse.

Admiral Yi

You're being deliberately stubborn and refusing to see the obvious as a means of signaling virtue.  He's talking about the crazies.  Crazies don't have jobs, they've never had jobs.

Zoupa

Is everything somewhat leftist or proven by numerous studies virtue signaling to you?

Raz never mentioned "crazies", whatever that means.
