And how does that help? You're just sending anyone undesirable to prison?
How about, and this is a wild idea, we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that?
- ueueshitashita 7y ago> we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that? Who is "we" in this context?
- aaomidi 7y agoPeople who realize housing people is cheaper than jailing them.
- eanzenberg 7y agoHow is it in any way cheaper. I mean yes, if you ship people to middle america it will be. But touting a "right" to housing in SF is preposterous, at $1000 / sq ft (and will only go up with more demand).
- kube-system 7y agoJails are more expensive to construct, are staffed, and also take up space like other forms of real estate.
- ueueshitashita 7y agoWhat is stopping the group of people who realize this from housing people?
- aaomidi 7y agoThe fetishization of "law and justice" in the United States and the world? As a species it seems we enjoy jailing the "undesirables" rather than tolerating them and understanding them.
