Cat

"Cats who fall from less than six stories, and are still alive, have greater injuries than cats who fall from higher than six stories."

"Feline High-Rise syndrome and such. Higher up, they have enough time to reach terminal velocity and relax their bodies because they don't feel like they're falling, so they don't hit the ground fully braced. The shorter distance falling doesn't allow for this, and results in greater injuries to the cat."

Cost

"It costs the government less money to build and give people houses/places to live than it would be to have them be homeless. Mostly due to the increase burden homeless people have on the health care and justice systems."

"God I wish more people understood this. If housing and healthcare were made more affordable by public means it would be WAY less expensive for everyone."
