Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You'll never get rid of the homeless by building shelters. Some of them don't want to go to one. They can't shoot up or drink in there, and there are other rules to follow too. There are also some other issues of living in a shelter.
That's why to reduce homelessness you provide people with unconditional housing, like housing first approach in Finland.
Yeah, that would be cool.
If only Reagan didn't defund asylums in order to "prove" they didn't work so that they could move the homeless to jail or on the street where they can be a scary story to keep us wage slaves in line.
Same thing Conservatives are doing in Europe with public healthcare.
Conservatives did that here in Vancouver, too.
This isn't a US thing, Europe does the same.
Like they aren't assured long term spots and can't bring their pets, often the pets who helped them survive, physically and emotionally. Maybe fuck off with your exterminationist bullshit?
What exterminationist bullshit? Where in my comment did I say anything like that? Where did I say "all homeless do this"? I said you won't get rid of homelessness by building shelters, since there are many homeless people who don't want to go to a shelter. I also gave some reasons they don't want to go. Not letting in pets is one such reason
What you're describing isn't shelters it's a sad excuse.
You'll never prevent fires by hiring Fire Fighters either.
Also...
Yikes.
Take it however you will, meant "get rid of homelessness".
Yeah, a shelter is not of much use to someone who has the shakes so bad that he would still feel better if he had his fix while on the street while its freezing.
