There is limited resources voters are willing to allocate to housing for homeless (as seen by homeless on the streets in the winter). Given that fact, would you prefer we have a fortunate fraction live in nicer less robust free housing than having a larger fraction housed in more robust (albeit less pretty) housing? I'd suggest you sit with that.

I would take concrete floors and walls in a heartbeat if it meant I get my housing for free, and I'm not even homeless. For god's sake I'm not saying they be sprayed down by water jets for showers or be given slop from a trough, I'm saying free housing shouldn't have carpet and other permeable surfaces people can wreck.
