The Libertarian Solution To End Homelessness

[Alex Libman]

The government doesn't like people taking care of themselves.

I suspect that, all kidding aside, that really is one of their motivations, at least on some level of group-subconsciousness. Tent City is saving the taxpayers lots of money - as Minister Steve Brigham (who is the lead organizer of this Tent City) pointed out recently at Town Hall here... It's really making the government bureaucrats look bad...

This is an awesome development, and great to see! I am interested in the movie! I will be interested to see how they approach the difficult problems of "homelessness" that extend beyond the availability of housing. Uptake for drug abuse, antisocial behavior, sickness, job skills, etc.

Thank you very much for your interest! I'll post updates on this thread about local screenings, future digital distribution, etc.

I read the comments on that article. Very disheartening.

Wait until tent city expands to over 250 people and then it will cost us $3 million to get them out!! Don’t wait!!!! Evict them now!
Besides, this is NOT a normal way to live! No matter how much we save…

Really? So the real problem is it ain't "normal?"
