I’m not saying the Soviet Union was great. It had very obvious issues (especially in the leadership and the general corruption that derailed the socialist/communist economic advancements).
And homelessness wasn’t technically illegal. E.g. Romani were technically homeless and they weren’t arrested for it.
Reducing homelessness by making it illegal isn’t such a great advert for Soviets
No, but reducing homelessness by having rents around 6% of people’s income is.
And 6% was the high end, for fancier places.
I mean, its what our governments in north america are doing instead of solving the problem.
The liberals here in Canada feel that housing is a commodity, not a right.
And it’s equally fucked up, yes.

Rough sleeping and panhandling were made illegal.
Big difference between tossing someone in prison for being homeless vs. a home/job program
