Aren't we already allowing / building increasingly large homeless refugee camps?
- joe_the_user 5y agoNot in the US. Occasionally, some effort to make a homeless camp livable is talked about but the powers-that-be still act to do the opposite, first the make homeless camp a hellhole and then kick everyone out to re-appear elsewhere.
- exporectomy 5y agoIsn't a livable homeless camp a shanty town? Is that really something to aim for as the long term solution? Personally, I like the freedom it gives residents but it also gives them health and safety problems and people are generally awful at protecting themselves from that.
- southerntofu 5y agoThat's not the answer to the homelessness. There's plenty of housing everywhere just sitting by to drive speculation. Building ghettos/camps is just for giving rich people good conscience that they don't have to see homeless people when they go out on the street.
