The people at the receiving end of these cruel eviction notices are not “homeless”, they are the unloved and abandoned of our deeply sick society.

In a so-called “free market economy”, there are no real market solutions for people forced into such unfair situations. Thus, if our illustrious marginally elected government officials fail to take steps to address such societal issues in a meaningful way, the cruel and uncaring are bound to take action, as this article makes evident.

Instead of learning largely useless information at schools and universities, we need to learn how to be decent, caring people. This should be our priority. Lesson learned, the rest would fall into place.

Brilliant article, thank you!

It's 2025 - we shouldn't have people rough sleeping outside. It is dangerous, negatively affects mental and physical health and lowers life expectancy. Rough sleeping is not a lifestyle choice and is complex as people have various reasons for being on our streets. They are fellow residents, human and need full support to get a roof over their heads. The government needs to build secure housing for the homeless and youths centres with support services as a top priority.
