    There are tent cities all over G7 countries right now. People literally go bankrupt in US when they get sick. Children in UK can’t get full nutrition. Meanwhile, I grew up in USSR, so I think I know what it’s like to live under a communist system a lot better than some ignoramus from UK.

        What world are you living in that you don’t know this and can I be invited? Haha

        The only exception is, maybe, Japan because I can imagine them being heavy-handed but I’ve never visited so I don’t know their homeless situation.

          Western Europe. You wont find many, if any homeless person on the street here. There are good support systems in place and people happily take advantage of it.

          Plenty of expats working here as well, shouldnt be to hard to get a working visa.

            Well, even with support systems, there are still plenty of homeless people in Western Europe. Maybe you are taking tent “city” too literally, it’s not so much a city as sometimes a small encampment but they exist.

            And if it was affordable for me to move to Western Europe, I would have done it years ago already. It takes a lot of money or support to just go be a working class person in another country on another continent.

              Not really. In western europe they have emergency housing available for free to homeless people. The document you linked will agree with that. In most western european countries you can use those resources as long as you need to, and get a social worker so you can work towards social housing.

              Again, you wont find homeless in our cities. There are beggars but those arent homeless. You should visit sometime if you dont believe me. Most americans are surprised to see the lack of homeless people in western european countries.

              Living in western europe isnt expensive, with around 3K in income you can live comfortably and enjoy all luxuries. Food is generally cheap, same for utilities. Taxes are heavy on upper middle class.

              There are a lot of expats that do IT and live very comfortable with a normal wage.

              I personally spend around 600 Euro on my mortgage and around 300 total on utilities + health insurance.

              If I can give a couple good spots of how good life can be I recommend visiting luxembourg, belgium or the netherlands.

          Some guy below posted the links to official statistics and it shows you are overdramatizing the situation.

              Everytime we have a conversation about the matter at hand and you start losing the argument you resort to these kind of replies. Getting predictable.

              But it shows how much you actually know, and what you blindly copypasta from other commies. Thats nice.

                Whenever you sealion into a thread, I provide you with sources and references and then you ignore those and continue trolling. The fact that you spend this much time following me around is kind of hilarious though. I love living rent free in your head. 😂
