It’s only a single anecdote: when I was unemployed and housed - but had a significant savings - I was enjoying life more, making friends, exploring food and locations more, and generally having a good time. I was barely if ever considering suicide.

I’m employed now, but living in a homeless shelter, and I’m so fucking stressed, I often consider taking that final exit.

And when I was housed and employed, but barely making enough to get by, I was still more capable of handling life.

Housing should be mandatory for civilizations. Anything less, and we are the savages.
