That's certainly not a recipe for idiocy

yea cause it matters on a much greater scale

Ever heard of fixing your own backyard first?

^

bulldoze a fuck ton of single family homes and build appartments

the poor ones specifically

the cheep old ugly homes

bulldoze them

>rob the poor for homeless gibs

I mean, it's not as if he knows much about US politics either.

you have to pay compensations also they are probably renting

what

Actually that's not necessarily true

Okay, pick a specific area

Home ownership isn't some obscure thing below the US poverty line

It depends on where you buy

do they own more than 50%

then we can discuss 1) why rent is fucked, and 2) what are the contributory factors for homelessness in that area

because otherwise you're just chasing ghosts

oh

zoning is usually shit

Yeah you're going to have to pick a specific, regional problem really

and people wont vote to fix it because their property value will fall

Like, lemme use AU as an example

There's a recent surge of homelessness in QLD

zoning is pretty retarded overall

But that's because of the recent flooding and shit

Once that's all fixed up, hopefully sooner rather than later, people won't be homeless again to the same degree

still counted as being homeless, though

In BC homelessness is drug and mental illness driven

So it varies

@Beemann it's the same in VIC, and Melbourne specifically

Also high rents

mental illness is only like 25% I believe

Which is caused by foreign ~~interference~~ "investment"

rent control

and hyperurbanization

so yeah, it varies region by region

yea, cancel rent control. What is wrong with foreign investment

if you just 'homelessness in general' that's a pretty empty statement

It's a common thing you see everywhere now
