How do I put this politely? Ummmm
"Marginalized' members of society" is a bit too lefty wordy for the right.
"Marginalized" has become synonymous with "victim" in many eyes from both sides of the aisle.

How do I get one of those homes but 3000 sq feet?

Spay, neuter, contain.
I like the idea of Cities of Refuge... a place for ferals and criminals to live their lives in the least restrictive environment but kept apart from regular society. They can develop their own government, economy, and do-gooders can send them care packages.
No children, just adults.

I never hear this word uttered in every day life unless I’m at church. I guess it’s trending on Xitter?

Much better than 'the unhoused'

Marginalized implies that they have been acted upon in some way to push them to the margins of society.
This isn't often true. The margins are by choice.
Perhaps more exact terminology would be Marginal. They are marginal, not marginalized.

I thought ghetto culture adherents were considered feral humans.
There's no helping the homeless issue. Too many homeless are addicts. These are people who are homeless because everything they had went into trying to get their next fix. They can't work because of their crippling addiction.

You know, throughout history those that couldn't contribute to society, were erased from society.
When did that stop being a thing?

I honestly don't see why anybody should have to pander to anyone, except maybe for cases of people with mental disabilities. Pandering actually annoys me. But I was just (poorly, in a rush) trying to point out that verbage is one of the things that netizens usually pounce upon with regularity.
Since you'd mentioned that the boards jump your case most of the time.
Right. Most of us don't use it in everyday speaking. Largely used by those in the media as a propaganda tool. Or by those who are ummm... Have it shoved into their vocabulary on a regular basis.
Idunno, to me it's an insulting word. Both for the reason that I said before, and because it assumes somebody's situation and throws a broad label on people, some of which the label doesn't apply to.
Especially the tards who use it to describe minorities. Being mixed race, a lot of the terms the "politically correct" Meatheads use for us are demeaning and insulting.

I mean, I'd agree that homelessness in America is usually due to maladaptation that used to put folks in bedlam. We didn't feel comfortable with the state of mental health facilities but just landed them on the street or prison instead.

There’s that patented elitism and “look at me” attitude.

Nah, we all know what group the term “feral” best equates to…

The new term is actually “unhoused”.
Which is no different than “homeless”
It’s like “colored people” vs “people of color”
It’s the language police bullshite. They literally make up new words as a test to see who will comply.

“Marginal” describes where someone is situated. “Marginalized” describes how people like you rationalize keeping them there.
But thank you for demonstrating the distinction so efficiently.

You respond to nearly every post I make with some off-topic, emotional nonsense. I would prefer if you stopped looking at me.

Keeping them there?
There are programs on top of programs for those willing to participate and rejoin society.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I don't think you would be in favor of forcing mental health patients or addicts into mandated programs. I would.
You strike me as the clean needles and narcan type... I could be wrong. I would advocate mandated inpatient treatment until whatever mental health condition or addiction were properly addressed. The problem with my way is it greatly infringes on "freedom". I would argue these people have no freedom to make reasoned choices while in the throes of their problems and thus must be restored to sanity and wellbeing PRIOR to exercising "freedom".

Many homeless people have mental issues or major health problems, or have simply made terrible life choices. I’m always shocked at the number who come from affluent families.
And drug addiction. A drug addict will spend any money he has on drugs, not the things you need in a home, such as food, cleaning supplies, clothes etc. They dont care about anything but the next hit.
The best way to fix the homeless problem would be to build large scale secure hospitals to treat the mental health issues and rehab. Anyone who wont go to rehab should be involuntary held and forced through rehab. If they return to drugs they should be kept in a secure facility indefinitely.
There would be costs associated with doing this but what are the costs of doing nothing? These homeless encampments degrade property values, many of these people are thieves, there are huge health care costs associated with them. So those costs should be considered when we talk about the cost of the new hospitals.

True of some, but not all by any means…

Try learning something about mental illness or addiction before you've declared that you've solved homelessness.

You've already told us you're the sheltered, never had to deal with real problems that someone else couldn't solve for you type. Your opinion on the matter is duly noted.

Teach us, then.
Someone in the midst of these problems is going to have a very difficult time "choosing" wellbeing.
What ideas do you have?
Or do you just like behaving like a drive by shite poster?
ARE you the needles and narcan type? OR, do you find value in involuntary treatment? Or is there a third way I've missed?
