Wow bulldozers did that all by themselves?
Here’s a couple ideas for dealing with the housing crisis situation, one of the primary causes of the homeless issues in the first place. Since all we ever seem to do is fail at handling symptoms instead of of causes.
- Foreign companies cannot own private housing.
- Domestic companies cannot own more than say 2-3 private homes, this includes any companies that can be connected through another business or individual. This allows individuals to have second homes or a rental property but means rental businesses are dead, they handle larger condos and apartments. Separate homes are meant for families and individual households.
- Tax vacant housing at high rates to facilitate homes actually being loved in. We have largely enough housing for everyone to have a place, but a lot of it sits unused as bullshit real estate holdings.
- For larger cities, tax vacant retail and office space at a high rate and give incentives to remodel it for more housing. Have maximum vacancy time-frames to incentivize utilizing the spaces instead of just setting bullshit pricing no one will ever pay while “looking” for tenants year after year.
But none of this will happen. Because the oligarchs have their money invested in real estate holdings that don’t move or get and use, so they require little to no maintenance. It’s a large reason why half of NYC looks like a shit hole with boarded up retail spots for decades while a cupboard under the stars costs $1800/mo to rent.
I don’t even know what to do with myself, reading this. It’s so fucking nightmarish. Why do we allow this hell to continue? That man should have been in a warm, safe bed. And he could have been if we didn’t hate our own people so much.
Let me guess, company in a rush to also not have to provide therapy to bulldozer driver.
Stoping this hell requires people to get off the Internet and possibly put themselves in harms way, or risk their livelihoods. Until people want a better life for their fellow man more than they want comfort for themselves, nothing will change.
Personally, I just don’t see that happening in America.
They needed a bulldozer to take down a few tents? They couldn’t just hire a few folks to deconstruct the area? What the fuck.
A handful of underpaid city staffers gently disassembling your home don’t send the same message that 200 tons of steel and diesel barreling through it does.
Bell Riots were supposed to be last year
The Temporal Wars threw a–
You know what? It’s not even worth it. This is truly horrifying.
This is like that cop that ran over and killed a homeless person while shortcutting through a park 🤡 madness.
I think Georgia did this on purpose
Hopefully he was having a good dream
And that his sleep was not disturbed. Simply didn’t wake up from his perspective.
Fuck this is awful…
