    How about some of those “homeless” families taking responsibility for themselves? Sick of reading about poor “Single” mothers having numerous babies by immaculate conception expecting others to provide a new house for them.

    There aren't enough houses to meet demand regardless of what income you have or your work status.

    If we included everyone who has to sleep on a sofa in their friends house or the families that live with the parents parents etc the true homeless figure would be a lot higher

    Should they build these homes themselves?

    I think what the poster is saying is, if you're broke and homeless, it might make sense not to have a baby.

    How many humans have been, and continue to be pre-planned, and should child raring be only allowed for certain income levels?

    Human beings are created by 2 people. The vast majority of homeless stories feature a mother and child/children. There are no excuses for more than one child being born into homeless. Personal responsibility should guarantee that. No matter what your culture or religion, there are ways of avoiding pregnancy. Personal responsibility on BOTH parents part.

    Let's take ErIca Fleming as an example - her child was around 8 or 9 years of age when they became homeless in 2015.

    Erica became homeless because even inspite of working the rent levels increased beyond her ability to pay.

    She only has ONE child.

    She did nothing wrong up to the point of becoming homeless. She did the responsible things you want but still ended up with no home.

    A parent can have a child on the basis that they have a home in 2018.

    But next year they end up homeless because some landlord wants to sell the property.

    the only problem with this logic is, reality can and is different.

    another angle of this problem, i suspect very few, if any unemployed people were a part of the high level political and economic meetings that have helped to create our housing issues, in fact, id stick my neck out and say, no unemployed persons played any part in these meetings, ever.

    They can if they so wish or buy their house with a mortgage like the rest of us- of course that would mean working for a living rather than laying on their backs popping out endless children to use as welfare tickets.

    how can the buy or build their own homes? many of these individuals would have poor education, have had very difficult experiences within our education system, some leaving at an early age, do you really think they could gain high level qualifications within our educational system, gain employment, with sufficient payment to be able to buy their own home? also baring in mind, many well qualified employed citizens are currently unable to buy their own homes
