Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Remember:

Using birth genitals to determine your name, your pronouns, what you're allowed to wear, who you're allowed to love, how you're allowed to present yourself = normal

Basing all that stuff on what makes you feel happy = dangerous extremism
