Outrageous opinion follows.
Life for homeless people in Australia is usually better than life for average people in most of the world. They still have clean food, clean water, good medical care if they walk into a hospital, clean streets. True, they often have psych problems and need care. But they don't need to worry about open sewers and such.
Um no.

i didn't say it was safe or good or something to aspire to nor a reason to not stop homelessness or help, just that there are some of the same advantages of an advanced industrial country.
Actually, fuck that um.
This is a disgusting and ill considered opinion.
ffs,
clean water is precious, sewers is precious, etc
our whole society benefits from these basics
we do need to care about everyone and stop homelessness, and it's possible, we just need the will , we need to tax mining companies etc
we know it's possible to help people because we did it during covid
