A lot of what you just listed are unnecessary homelessness-enforcement tools you couldn’t conceive of parting with.
Allowing a person to build themselves primitive shelter is offensive to you, to your friends, and to your family. A dangerous eyesore is what that sounds like to you. You have no intention to vote to allow it, and you have no interest in entertaining any kind of empathy for the caveman with tied hands.
Shelter is formalized, and you have no intention of dropping the formalities. You’d rather hire men to chase tent-dwellers around.
I don’t understand your response, they asked “can’t you just build a home” you can, but not just however you want, there are rules that have to be followed. Whether those rules are agreeable or reasonable is different, if you don’t agree with them then yes, you can vote and lobby for change, or move somewhere where these rules don’t exist.
