Quebec City Mayor Bruno Marchand has suggested that the solution to the crisis may be a Finnish model, which is a ‘housing first’ approach that aims to give everyone a home.

You only got questions because your original post was inane. On a news item about a country providing homes to their homeless citizens, you asked how a country could do this without being flooded with migrants. You posed it as a gotcha, and demanded we come up with solutions to this problem that you, the most intelligent man in the room, found.
Finland had to close their borders recently due to a migrant influx, which they have since opened. Wonder where they’ll live, and who will pay for it, what services will the funding be redirected from, and what magical insta-build housing they’ll live in (it takes 18 months to build a 20+ unit complex after a quick Google).
My response was to Quebec city, expanded to “how could a nation even manage this from start to finish, nevermind a city”. I like this sarcastic attack on my person, though. This is precisely why I didn’t engage. If one says anything but “homelessness bad, housing good”, the internet megaminds come out and try to apply their critical thinking skills. I like your use of “we” here as well.
