It was the flippant response to a claim that a user received direction to kill himself. Which was blown out of proportion, but certainly wasnt polite.

I'd like to read a thread that actually explains and justifies people's points of view on the subject, but not badly enough to make that thread.

Expropriate all church property and build small dwellings for the homeless

The homeless population is less than 20% of the number of vacant housing units in America. People aren't homeless because of a literal lack of houses, they're homeless because of a capitalist system which allows necessities of life to remain unused while people suffer because of insufficient profit.

Sure, if you're counting homes in the boonies, far from any sort of economic activity. If the homes aren't located where people want to live, they're utterly worthless. Building more multifamily homes, public and private, in places where people actually want to live is a much better solution to the affordability crisis than tossing the housing insecure willy-nilly into peoples' cabins or second mansions in the exurbs.

If racist/classist land use policies explicitly limit the number of homes that can go into an area to one one-hundredth of those that would like to live there, then, yes, a lack of houses is exactly the problem.

I took a minute. I read through the thread and found that maybe what was in the reports may not have been accurate.

Still. Copchat.

Clearly a day isn’t working. So congrats, going forward copchat in the CE thread gets you three days in the isocubes. But for now participants got one day probes coming down the pipes.

Except one of you. One of you earned a bonus. Not gonna say who, that would ruin the surprise.

I came back from my quiet day and I found more reports than I normally get in a week. I assumed you guys had went full pants-on-head mad in here. Turns out it was mostly innocuous with outraged misunderstanding sprinkles on top.

This was close to a decade ago, but one of the local churches in my hometown started housing homeless folks in their church building and was fined / eventually shut down by the city because of zoning or somesuch nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, if churches want to go the way of Liberty University and start hosting rallies/politicizing themselves then they should be taxed to hell and back. There are legitimately good religious organizations out there who leverage their tax advantage for good... They are just few and far between :(

nah this is the case (maybe even more so?) in desirable locations like nyc because apartments are treated as investments for the wealthy rather than homes for people who need them.

and idk maybe it is different here but it is developers who want to change the zonings of land in order to build more apartments, regular people (and especially people in need) know they aren’t going to get them (and many housing fights happen because of upzoning).

Of course not, nobody posts forever.

Someone can probably work with McNally (through PMs) to make a very specific thread with specific guidelines of discussion that would eventually closed when the participants veer wildly off topic on page two because there's clearly a lack of willingness to participate in a discussion appropriately. But I think he might even be past permitting that.

It's not like the solution to any problems are supposed to be found by informed consensus on this internet comedy forum.

I imagine that if people could actually discuss these issues without being complete loving assholes, it'd be fine. But we've gone a few years of not doing that, so...
