Something ain't right Source? RoboXgp89 posted... If we did it like japan it would be fine 5 dollars walk in see a doc walk out, heavily subsidized by the gov't but everyone there is skinny, there's no guns and no one has any reason to be homeless ...what? Not even sure where to begin with that, although the fact that Japan has homeless is a good start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Japan Japan at that time was 25,296 25k in a country of 100 million people that's laughable that's 1/10th of what we have in any given state because real estate agents/land lords don't care about human beings.. at all. This whole article seems a little biased and only contains facts about how bad homelessness is and not any other relevant information. Perhaps how there are around 10,000 homeless people in all of Japan, or maybe that there are around 5 times more homeless people in Los Angeles than all of Japan combined. Possibly even the 3 different systems of help for homeless people that can be found on the Japanese page for homelessness in Japan. Not sure if you did quotes wrong at the end or if you were quoting a comment in the article. However, you claimed that there was no homelessness there, which was just a flat-out lie. Now you're trying to move the goalposts. However, people are homeless in Japan for the same reason that they're homeless anywhere else: lack of family to support them, mental illness, addiction, long-term loss of employment, etc. As for the 25,000, the government is likely under-reporting that number considering that Tokyo alone was estimated to have 5,000 homeless. However, Japan has a shrinking population and they push for far smaller housing so it's possible that there's also less of a strain on the housing market in general.
