Welcome to egocentric society, leave your sanity by the door it's every man for himself fromhereon!
Praise the homeless people for they are the most productive members of society! You think you are productive? hah! The homeless are working day and night! Their shift never ends! They produce more value than the rest of us combined!
How it works? I doubt you really want to know.
With a bucket, a sheet of plastic and some straw I can build a fabulous house. Without the bucket and the plastic it would take a bit more time. Give me a pile of bricks, some mortar, bit of wood and some roof tiles and ill build a house that looks from the outside exactly the same as any house build by a construction company. It wont take me 6 months. In the 14th century the roof tiles became mandatory because straw is a fire hazard if you cramp houses really really close together.
I'm getting to the point, wait for it...
There is plenty of space to build plenty of houses, it takes a bit of effort but it won't have to cost an insane amount of resources. We can plant the trees 20 years in advance if we kept our sanity.
While all that sounds like a lovely idea and it would certainly work in a loving and caring society - that is not what we have! It's a terrible idea!
The housing ponzi needs an artificial shortage. Its 30 k worth of bricks and labor and 500 000 market value. We need for this to go UP NOT DOWN. We have a lot riding on this housing ponzi! You are not seriously expecting me to get a job and work for my money - are you?
If anyone was to create a surplus in places to live it would do terrible things to our investments! It would harm the economy and the economy is more important than anyone in this neoliberal storm of poop.
Imagine how bad things would be if we didn't have a surplus in demand, if we didn't have plenty of homeless people, plenty of permanent guests sleeping on sofa's, plenty of hard working people living in tiny houses they can't afford!
Purchase power of minimum wage is racing down, people are expected to work flexible hours and rent is going up faster than you can say cul-de-sac.
Praise the homeless for no one works harder to keep the productive members of society down. We should all shake their hand and thank them for their contribution. Without them non of this would be possible.
