      Bah, these modern homeless aren’t putting in the effort to make proper Shanty Towns like they used to. /s

      Shantytown was a big step up from this. How is it that conditions during the great depression were an improvement from today? How is that not a big fucking problem?

        During the Great Depression, there were fewer resources available for harassing and dispersing homeless folk to preserve the effective monopoly of private entities on usable land.

        Not ‘no resources’. But fewer.

        Also, more people with the requisite knowledge, like construction workers and carpenters, were out on the streets at the time.
