RE: The End of Criminalization: On Free Will, Accountability, and Compassion
I believe that everyone has the right to exist in public space regardless of socioeconomic status, and that nobody should be subject to harassment, exclusion, or discrimination based on their appearance or their lack of stable housing. I also believe that the rights of individuals in public space outweigh the economic interests and objectives of businesses and government. All members of our community have inherent worth as individuals regardless of their economic or financial contributions, and those who lack the ability and means to access shelter have a right to engage in life-sustaining activities in public space without fear of harassment or arrest.
Very well put @jennamarbles , I can appreciate that sentiment. It's a shame that plenty of cities (even in Kuala Lumpur) are moving homelessness out of sight. Part of modernity nowadays is removing "unpleasant" elements, which equates to "better value". Good thing there are many private initiatives providing safe haven, while the state is somewhat trying to brush the issue aside..
I just dont understand why the government couldn't give houses to homeless citizen when they all have the capacity to do it. What could be the possible reason? Don't ask them about reason because they are good at reasoning. Their on for the development of the country and yet they are depriving the rights of others.
Somebody has to pay for those houses but I do think that criminalising homelessness is a abhorrent practice.
