1.You have stated a value judgement that keeping an apartment clear of clutter/mold is more valuable than a person’s life. I hope thats not what you believe, but it is what you are saying.
You are claiming that these people are different than you and I based on purely anecdotal evidence and fear-mongering. Just as it’s impossible to give a statistic for “number of renters/homeowners who have hoarding/mold/broken window/etc. problems” you cannot prove, or back up that main claim and then are using it to argue in favor of doing actual, direct, measurable harm to people.
They are people, no different than you and I and your use of pure anecdotes and “general vibes” to justify these additional hoops which not only don’t work, but cause additional trauma to those subjected to them. (Which spoiler, is why group homes and the instruction thing you linked dont actually work.)
How would you like having to allow someone else into your home to inspect the “cleanliness” of it, collect samples to check for drug use, etc. Knowing that they can evict you at any moment? Is that maybe stressful? De-humanizing?
Again, it’s not hostility towards you, it’s (IMO perfectly justified) hostility towards that specific rhetoric that a particular subset of people are “different” and “destructive” and so shouldn’t get basic necessities when there is nothing to back that up.
Thank yoy, you highlighted the problem perfectly.
