Eastside, do you really think limiting entertainment options and not allowing AC is the equivalent of a forced labor situation or debtors prison?
As for creature comforts, I am merely saying that someone living on the public dime should not be allowed to live in unnecessary comfort. And I did post real ideas for helping people: have temporary emergency shelters [[also coupled with aggressive social services), and outright give those in public housing their units, rendering them homeowners. I also said that there should be significant restrictions and responsibilities on people who live in public housing. Having read the Dickens canon, I can't quite see cruelty in those proposals. But that begs the question: is asking for someone to agree to responsible behavior to live at taxpayer expense in and of itself cruel?
