- bluefirebrand 2y agoThis is obviously true, but misses the point Even if there are 10 beds and 10 people, if 9 people can afford to pay 2000 for their beds, and that last one can only afford 500, that last one is still going homeless Because the person selling the last bed is going to want around 2000 for it, just like the other 9 are paying Edit: and no, telling them they have to give up that bed for 500 is not a real option
