    Basic human nature is love and compassion. When people like Alex come up with great idea, of course many people will follow and support. Keep it up and let the support follow. Great work!

    Amazing work! I often feel incredibly powerless when encountering homeless people and I'm so glad to see people taking action to actually change the root causes.

    Incredible idea, i really resonate with what you were saying, i recently fell on hard times but picked myself up and it was only because of the people around me and things i already had in place i was able to do that. Some people aren't as priveledged and we should all be striving to support them where we can - excellent idea

    Homelessness is a factor to increase the value to property, and the great majority is homelessness. if you rent you are homelessness, if you have a mortgage you are homelessness. The taxes and value of your home increases every year and is a risk factor to become homelessness, the insurance adds to it as maintenance, public services are the worst factor for cities to became a ghost and worthless cities. flat extended cities with a overdeveloped asphalt streets they will become ruins. High density cities with high rise small condominium units are the future. The great majority of citizens are Homelessness, sooo..... a new party the Homelessness Party is the peoples road to liberty and happiness.

    Bottom line: Homelessness is a choice. Its a tough pill to swallow but its true. Also to note, If throwing money at homelessness was the solution we would have solved it a long time ago.
