I have said this before, many times.
We do not have a housing problem. We have a HOMELESS problem.
Big difference.
We don’t need big homes built on prime land that no one but the very rich can afford. And they only buy it as a rental property. Rich people have lots of rental properties that they make a fortune from. From people who can barely, if at all, afford that rent!
We have plenty of empty buildings that just need some repairs and upgrading that could be used for those who cannot afford rent.
We take better care of abandoned animals than we do humans.
We rescue dogs and cats and horses and post it all over the internet.
But human beings?
Out on the street people spiral downwards very, very fast. As fast as the dog tied to a tree, or a kitten left in a box. And human beings have a lot more issues than just food and shelter. We have mental health to consider.
If you lose everything, pride and hope soon follow suit, and then you have nothing left to lose. There are huge repercussions from that.
Stop these greedy politicians who make billions devouring our precious lands, giving them to developers to cement over. Keep our green space. Keep our agricultural lands.
How about using what we readily have available to help people.
Yeah. Help people.
What a concept.
