Corruption could make that money go to some people's 3rd, 4rd or their relatives houses UNFORTUNATELY . The question here is: what about those who pay a rent???
Corruption already makes most millionaires' and billionaires' money go to that anyway. At least if it's taxed some of it will actually go to toward necessary housing, maybe even frequently enough that it's not newsworthy when it does, the way it is now.
I did not understand what you said, sorry
You're worried that if we collect money from the wealthy through taxation, it might not be used to reduce homelessness. However, if we don't tax the wealthy, they'll spend the money on their own goals, which definitely won't be to reduce homelessness. While you're right that taxes are largely wasted, they do still fund important things such as fire departments, medical research, and yes, government housing. It's true that we need to implement better tax management systems, but we also need a wealth tax.
I never said we don't need a taxation system, I'm just reporting what's happening almost everywhere.
Alternatively a possibility is to give the public sector to woman, they should be a little bit more immune to corruption (I might be wrong though).
So we're so scared of corruption that (checks notes) we stop even trying for fairness and instead just let rich fucks make all the decisions and hope for the best?
It's clear that a lot of people switched to that way of thinking, thanks to those corrupted people.
That's what current voting results say all around
