During the worst of the wildfire smoke, I saw this haunted-looking extremely disheveled woman dragging 4 duffel bags behind her from the bus stop. She was heading to the greenbelt behind my house where I ran into a different disheveled woman carrying a cardboard box of miscellaneous things the previous day. There has been a homeless encampment back there for years now and these are its newest members. It's bleak as hell.

Austin for a while had a paved lot with some sewers and taps near the airport where some city or state agency was sending homeless people to stay - the airport being across the river and 12 miles away from downtown - and at the start of the year there were stories about it being handed over into a private-public partnership thing rather than letting the people who lived there run it

I don’t know how it turned out

there are enough ranches and stuff about that far out that are basically unimproved land that actual government housing could be made versus this explosion in urban camping

but that would be bad, I guess?
I recall Mark Cuban in the summer saying the problem with free housing is people wouldn’t be happy with where it was situated but I suspect anything indoors is better than living next to a highway grabbing buckets from construction sites and squeegees from gas stations to try and wipe car windows

e: window washing at intersections! it’s bootstraps

our country could:

a) treat the lowest among us, our sick and tired, those who need our love and compassion the most with dignity. we could live by that old, often misattributed herbert humphrey 1977 quote: "The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." for the cost a smattering of tesla shares we could build permanent housing for everyone in need and give them food, shelter, clothes, internet, all the basics of life for absolutely free with no means tests or expectations of repayment or return. we could give people the space and support they need to thrive - or not, doesn't matter. we could give everyone the basest dignity and respect that should be afforded to everyone on earth, let alone the most powerful empire in the history of our civilization.

OR

b) do nothing for them because theyre poor and gross and who cares. just ignore them. eventually theyll die or smth idk w/e
