if you ever wonder why people can seem so inhuman, it's not because they have no empathy, its because they have to tell themselves a story. And that story has to twist and pervert itself into a terrifying narrative so the person can maintain their identity as a person. If you ever hear billionaires talk they come across as alien creatures and its to prevent themselves from ever thinking about consequences. you do it too, all people do. Im not saying its right, but self-preservation is a powerful instinct that supersedes any logic or pathos

If you live in a car-centric place and are an upwardly-mobile HENRY, you'll construct a life for yourself where you never go through this part of town. You don't even need to consciously do so, it's just that all the places you ever go to are fiercely patrolled to keep the homeless at bay.

This is the same reason the exurbs very rarely build any sort of public parks or main streets or anywhere people would actually want to be in the post-war era -- it inevitably will have some homeless people in it, get a bad reputation for crime and uncleanliness, and nobody will go there. (Being less accessible by car doesn't help either.) Exurbs these days have the minimal amount of grassy public land to legally count as a park scattered around, and then only as a technicality to prevent convicted sex offenders from legally moving in nearby.

The US has a higher percentage of homeless people than Mexico and anywhere from 2.5 to 3 million children in the US are homeless. :thumbsup:

After the revolution you totally need the kinds of forced tours to the poor parts of town for any remaining bourgies that they had Germans go on to the concentration camps during denazification.

I once pointed out to liberals that according to a study California had the highest rate of poverty in the nation (mostly due to cost of living), and they all got mad at me and refered to it as conservative propoganda.

Collective action is required, but since the only action that our government can do are market solutions there is no method to address this social problem short of make homelessness de facto illegal.

100% vacancy tax. if you don’t live in the building then you must pay 100% of the advertised rent in taxes for every month it’s vacant.

if it’s not for rent and it’s a an “investment” like the empty high rise condos in nyc, it’s just strait up repossessed, and you are arrested if you live in the US.
