I think your instant assumption about it being done for evil says more about the country you live than it does about Finland, because homelessness doesn't seem to be a big issue in Finland. That's ~5k homeless people in a country with ~5 million people, that's ~0.1% of the population being homeless.
0.1% is big. I want to see 0%.
The US is roughly the same percentage and it was definitely a comment from a US political frame. In the US they are simply more visible as they congregate in cities.
As opposed to here where they congregate to mountaintops?
Certain demographics do not congregate everywhere. Farmers do not congregate in cities.
But we are talking about US and Finnish homeless who do
Also 70% of those homeless people are living with friends or relatives
