I think it's not that simple.
Who fixes them when things break. Who organises plumbers, electricians and pays for them?
What happens when someone leaves or falls off the wagon.
Can you be sued if a lock breaks and someone is hurt.
You risk creating a slum if they are all together, which will not be liked by NIMBY. Spread them out it's hard to manage and is there spare public land spread out?
Who keeps the water supply up and empties the toilets.
Great idea, but it's not that simple, I do hope it continues and it kinks can be worked out.
Giant apartment complex for the poor also is an excellent idea. Easy to manage. Facilities to help them all in the one place. Cookie cutter fixes for plumbing and electricity keep cost down. Schools near by designed to help them.......
- jackyinger 10y agoIf you go vertical with housing projects you've only changed the slum from horizontal to vertical. In America they're known as projects and in France banlieus. And they don't really solve any problems. Building a society that values integrating folks of all backgrounds (and practices it) would fix the root or the problem.
- saiya-jin 10y agotrue, but integration is hard, very hard. in fact, most of the time it's a failed cause, visible all over the europe, france being one of the worse cases
- icelancer 10y agoThat's because humans are tribal by nature. Trying to undo millions of years of selective organization bred into how we react to groups is ridiculous.
- meric 10y agoThen maybe integration is not the answer.
- namlem 10y agoIn Canada they have had success. Toronto is an extremely integrated city.
