minus-square@JamesFirelink3•5 months ago There are already more than enough houses, several times more unoccupied houses than there are homeless people in fact. A huge chunk of them are not where people want/need to live though. Vacant housing in Detroit doesn’t help people living in SF
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•24 days agoNot sure if it’s decent to reply on old threads here… Anyways, You’re right. The "millions of empty houses’’ argument is 100% misinformation. So many of those empty houses are either unlivable or in the middle if nowhere. Oh The Urbanity! breaks it down well. Whether intentional or not, this myth has pit progressives against policies they should champion and it’s so damn frustrating.
