lol, wtf is this site? It doesn’t exactly seem reliable, and the idea that Finland has “ended” homelessness is complete horseshit. Sure, there’s public housing, but there’s also a massive queue of people waiting to get those public, relatively cheap apartments. The rest can just try their luck on the free market (read: pay rent or die, just like every other Western nation).

It’s also extremely ironic to bring this up considering our current government is more likely to incinerate the homeless than eradicate homelessness.

What video? Do you seriously think there’s no homelessness in Finland?

They do love to flaunt this, but they have no actual political power so it’s more like a wish or what they say their goals are, not that it has an impact.

I work with homeless people in my everyday and they are definitely not doing so well so this common Finnish country brand PR they love to say everywhere is an eternal annoyance to me when I see it on social media. It gets thrown around by libs a lot in places like Mastodon.
