Not having an address is a huge hurdle to get a job. There should be laws against it or else it just creates a downward cycle.
In my country it is illegal too. A place of residency is required to get bank accounts and jobs. But we also have some sort of vanity addresses which the social net provides to those without a home. These address are used to receive correspondence and allows homeless people to be official citizens of a town.
Absolutely agree with you, but, unpopular opinion probably, I also don’t want a lazy ass who can’t or doesn’t want to get a job to be homeless. Like, I don’t care how much of an asshole you are and how many drugs you take and that you don’t care to hold a job, I still want you to have shelter, food, and basic necessities. Let alone kids of these people.
Laws against not having an address? That just (further) criminalizes poverty.
I think they’re saying laws against discrimination for not having an address.
Now that makes a lot more sense than the way they worded it.
Unfortunately not gonna happen under this Reich.
No, reread what they said. Laws against employers requiring an address. Don’t be so quick to assume.
No, you see it’s illegal for anyone to sleep under a bridge, not just the poors.
I believe it’s the other way around: laws against the discrimination of people who do not have an address.
I would say: make a law forcing governments to provide a free administrative address on demand where you can get your mail.
I was thinking making it illegal to require an address and use email for communication. Public libraries usually have free WiFi. They can check their emails there. If they do not have their own devices, they can use a public computer.
Why would a physical address be required at all?
Sadly there are some people who believe that.
