The Twin Cities has three options to get the homeless under control.
Do nothing, as is tradition
Actually locate a parcel of land, build a massive temporary housing project that is far enough away from neighborhoods to prevent NIMBY opposition
Have tax exempt religious institutions house these people
I always find it funny when Redditors expose how little they know. When cities "work with community leaders and homeless charities" they almost always mean churches.
They're trying to say the churches don't pay taxes and contribute nothing to society. In reality they run most of the homeless shelters/outreach and if it isn't explicitly religious, usually it's the secular branch of a church for charity work.
I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

I'm sure a lot of religious institutions would be happy to house the homeless on the condition that they don't use drugs.

It's also wrong. There's a 4th option. Kill all hobos.

But... like all homeless shelters whether public or private are already tax-exempt? What is the point being made?
