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.

Theres some sort of video that went around with it too, can't pull it up right now

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

They allegedly have eradicated homelessness recently

I hate to sound like some pedantic nerd, but ”eradicate” is a very strong word, and I've seen people seriously claim in the pastthat Finland has given all homeless people places to live.
