Housing Crisis
(lemmy.world)
Based on currently available numbers, there are about 31 vacant housing units for every homeless person in the U.S.
We don't need to move people around, build houses where people need houses!
No not like that. Obviously build them somewhere else and bus people to the houses!
Internet idea man is oblivious to cognitive dissonance.
Editing to be less rude because I think there's actually a real misunderstanding here.
Build houses in places (cities, not literal square meters) where unhoused people need to be housed. They, like anyone else that lives in a city, can use their feet and bikes and public transit to go from where their house is to another place in that city where maybe they shop and work like any other citizen. The suggestion is simply to give them houses.
I also disagree with suburban sprawl and NIMBYism, hence my comments about densification
We are on the same page. Where I see homelessness there is not space for housing, but there are places that could accommodate without a cross-country trek.
