during Covid lockdown in Melbourne they put a bunch of homeless people in hotels because there were no tourists anyway and they were trying to avoid Covid spread. there were a bunch of news stories about how those people had secure housing, access to hot water etc for the first time in decades in some instances and how much their lives improved. then Covid ended and they kicked them all out and back on to the street. Covid wasn’t awesome of course but it did prove that change is possible, it’s just a matter of will.

a number of cities in BC, my own included, have bought out motels to use as housing for the unhoused, and how good these are really depend on how theyre run I remember some problems with some of them in southern bc, both in Victoria and Vancouver when trying to deal with the triple problem of homelessness/covid/overdose crisis, but also capitulating to NIMBYs in destroying their encampments. basically they’d tear down encampments then push people to go to the motels they secured but with onerous rules where you can’t have guests, and it became less safe than their own tent communities as people would then overdose and die, alone. some of these motels also became target of arsonists unfortunately there are some that are better run at least

though i'm optimistic about reforms like that, it's really the land that has the value. the house next door to me is a squatter shack with a bunch of other people's motorcycles and baby strollers in the back yard. the house is worth like $20k and will be torn down as soon as somebody pays the $600,000 that the lot is worth.

it's a good policy and it should be done everywhere. but rental vacancies are still less than 1%, and that's the one that really matters when you're looking for somewhere to live.

DELETE CASCADE posted:yes but israel/palestine is different you see because jews don’t underestimate the number of seemingly-normal people who uncritically accept biblical historicity, even among non-believers it’s one of those areas so foundational for many people it never even enters their mind that it may be bullshit, at most they think some biblical stories are “interpretations of real events” rather than what they were: entirely made up excuses to do terrible poo poo “you need to get off this land right now because a god just gave it to the group of us who worship him exclusively, if you don’t leave he says we get to enslave and/or kill you”

dioxazine posted:i'm not quite sure on the timeline, are the bell riots in september prior to this? it's not specifically stated. only that irish unification is in 2024, while the bell riots specifically occur in early september. of course the various temporal incursions/cold war that occurred in voyager, enterprise, and that are mentioned in season 3 of discovery mean that the timeline is all hosed up now and some events have been shifted to later years, like how (strange new worlds spoiler) khan is still a child in 2023 now instead of being born in the late 70s/early 80s and coming to power in the 1990s like he originally did
