Residents of Silicon Valley homeless camp clear 48,000 Lbs of garbage from creek, ask for housing

but most people who I meet don’t, and instead live how they live because countless people around them appear to do the same.

You do realize that initially I was talking about “shared shelter” being a quick fix that doesn’t address the root problems, like lack of jobs and lack of income (and other issues mentioned by others upthread). You’ve entirely ignored/forgotten all about that because you’re bent on speaking your own endless diatribe about how society is inherently selfish and any number of ridiculous judgments about why people choose to live the way they do (because they’re imitating others), and yes, how YOU THINK society should work and what people should value. Initially I thought you were talking about “building dormitories” and other communal low-cost housing, but i’ve come to understand what you’re on about isn’t close to being that practical.

I still don’t see that you’ve addressed the root causes of homelessness. What I do see is you is talking about a need to completely restructure society and shift people’s values to fix everything, in a way that is entirely theoretical, not at all pragmatic, lacking any concrete timeline or plan of action, and having only very little to do with “urban planning.” As I said a while ago, by all means, take your ideas and make them real with willing people, but a mess of thoughts, ideas, and judgment on others’ entitlement and lack of sharing isn’t a plan.
