The only person that can save America from homelessness is the head of the meth and heroine cartels in Mexico How do you think these addicts became homeless ? @Xerobull
Quick question: Do you believe the residents of middle- and upper-middle class single family home subdivisions, garden apartment complexes, or condo developments will let Elon build the ten or twenty randomly distributed and subsidized units in each their communities that would not only end homelessness, but reduce concentrated poverty that would then limit the homeless culture and integrate them into society?
Less than half, sometimes estimated as low as a 3rd of homeless are reported to be addicted to substances, from what I've read. I like the legalize and treat addiction game plan, gut the cartels, get people the help they need. I also like the housing first game plan for homelessness.
I was talking $200,00 homes in new subdivisions for each of them, not apartments or substituted units shoved in a neighborhood of homes. I could care less what bigots think.
it's bigoted to care only about American homeless when global poverty is such a huge problem. just sayin'
As a black man with a basic understanding of American history, I have to care what bigots think because it directly informs how they will act. Separately, we already did what you're suggesting via housing projects, which didn't work. The subdivisions full of exclusively homeless people would not have any retail development or commercial emplyers near by, nor would any of the houses last longer than a generation because no one would buy them to live solely around other homeless people, furthermore the values of homes in a fully subsidized neighborhood would probably collapse within a few years. There is more to bringing whole subcultures out of unfavorable conditions than short division with long numbers and surface level resentment targeted at one person.
Ah yes, liquidate Tesla and SpaceX (because that is essentially what you're proposing). Neighborhoods consisting of half a million drug addicts and mentally ill people. What could go right? I dont understand why people are giving you a free pass on your idiocy. On the bright side, it would be interesting to see how this simulation played out.
Not all homeless are drug addicts and mentally ill. 30-40% addicted to drugs/alcohol, 25% mentally ill, not sure what % is overlapping but I imagine it's significant. Those people are going to be in neighborhoods, whether they are in houses or not.
Which leads to the additional issues I alluded to earlier. They need clothes, transportation, skill sets, a sober lifestyle, nutrition, etc.
Well It’s easy to fantasize about other people’s money @Jontro I’m sure @Jontro could use Harden’s excess dollar bills last weekend At treasures
