How come we get the full post instead of just the image? Is this because of the crosslink method?

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

I would guess so. I pressed "Crosspost" and this is what happened. If someone knows more, let us know.

Housing is a human right.

Western countries have more than enough money to house everyone they just choose not to.

It’s frustrating that this meme is the actual solution to these problems and we still don’t fix it.

Shit we in the US have more vacant homes than we have homeless people.

And that's not just a "oh some places have more homes than other's screwing the average" thing, literally every major city in the US has more vacant homes than their homeless population. Sometimes as much as 3 or 4 to 1.

As well as being dense, mixed use housing, can it also be socialized? Privately owned housing is just going to go to the highest bidder, which will leave the truly vulnerable to their own, yet again.

There's no law of the universe that prevents it.

The interest rate's a little airborne. It's still good.
