The dialogue around poverty and homelessness has become skewed by misguided questions. We debate whether individuals deserve the basic human dignity of having a place to sleep instead of questioning how we can structurally support them. This disgustingly misplaced focus diverts attention from actionable solutions that could help alleviate these societal issues. Our approach needs a fundamental shift: rather than ostracizing those who struggle, we must cultivate empathy, enact reform, and provide proactive support. Recognizing that these are not individual failures but societal issues is the first step toward building a more inclusive and supportive community.
