    The entire post is about low income housing as a solution to people sleeping in tents. Building more apartments won’t stop people from living in tents.

    Pointing out that it’s a complex issue that isn’t solved by more houses is pretty much the opposite of a strawman

      No, that is not the point it’s making. It’s making the point that neoliberal chuds would prefer to see homeless people than affordable housing. It doesn’t say that building housing itself is the sole solution. Hell, it doesn’t say anything at all about building. We don’t see any construction in that picture, the blocks are just there. You could read it as saying that already built flats should just be given to people.
