    Experiencing homelessness leads to a better understanding of homelessness

    I 100% agree with you that lived experience is a necessity to finding an answer, but it’s unrealistic to expect only people with that experience to produce solutions.

    anything you have to contribute on the topic is about as effective as donating to a scam artist

    What was it you were saying about lived experience? Well you’ve never lived my life. I can see the precarity of homelessness myself. I’m in a place that’s forced to make plans in case I have nothing. I’m also building an organizing committee for my union local to address homelessness in my community. I’ll make sure to tell everyone that attends our moneyless winter clothing swap that even though I’m there and planned it, I’m actually a con artist.
