Yes, just the tech part.

I'm convinced the Amish may have the right idea.

As long as they ban all political speech from both sides who cares? There is plenty of that on reddit anyway. If they only ban the stuff that they don't like then f 'em.

Cutting food support and medical care but we always seem to find money for Trump's fever dreams.

Time to move those porn files to an external drive and encrypt.

Well "No you" is essentially what you said so own it. Instead of addressing my points you attacked the messenger. A childish move.

Unrealistic "solutions" are not helping. Everything I said has been pointed out even by advocates and those that work with the homeless. Post here how you would create a working plan.

The land is expensive. Every time you buy and build or rebuild you want to make a profit off of your investment and effort so it goes up. Even if the structure is crap and you intend to tear it down and rebuild the seller still expects to be paid for the structure. The only way to make land more affordable is to build upwards and make condos/apts and increase the number of residents per unit area.

The problem is many of them can't manage themselves never mind a home. Sticking them in a house and walking off isn't doing anyone a favor. How would they even pay for utilities, upkeep, and property taxes? We can't afford to subsidize everything, many of us are struggling to get by ourselves. They'd need jobs to sustain themselves and I doubt many of them could hold a job or qualify for much. Also this just lumps every house in the US into a single category. If you are in CA and refuse to move to Detroit then it doesn't matter how many available homes there are in Detroit.
