~~Who else is losing? Nimbys can fuck right off if the loser in that situation is the NIMBY because a homeless person got a "win."~~
~~I don't give a flying fuck, a rats ass, or whatever other colorful saying there is that someone's neighborhood loses "character" or home value (it's a necessity not a fucking investment, even though we made it one.) If the end result is we fix homelessness I say they can deal with it, humans are great at adapting just ask the homeless.~~
Edit: I'll leave it as it's still an important thought, but I misread "politically." Yeah a politician will want to fix the problem and then the voters will vote them out because of their personal greed/selfishness.
The NIMBYs lose and the politicians lose because they get voted out by said angry NIMBYs.
The people who most need the help win.
