People buying houses for profit generate a lot of tax revenue so the government doesn't give a shit. I'm finding out more and more the government doesn't really care homeless and poor people.

All people need shelter, and having shelter shouldn't hinge on it being profitable for someone else. I agree that framing these kinds of things in terms of "deserving" is kinda problematic. We shouldn't be trying to judge people, we should be trying to do what's best for everybody overall, and I think you'd get a pretty solid majority of people to generally agree that widespread homelessness is not a good thing. <cite>myusernameislame posted [p:980152738] in Do fast fo...

synth_real 04/29/24 12:14:31 PM #21:	Every adult should be able to have their own house. Maybe not necessarily a big house, but a roof over their head and a little lawn to mow should be affordable for everyone, and the fact it isn't where I live is why I'm planning to move somewhere with much cheaper property. I work in a factory full-time and I don't even make enough to afford a bachelor apartment and a car, and my company is likely doing layoffs in the near future. I'm gonna start with something like a shipping container home with solar panels on it and work my way up from there. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.
