We're collectively picking all the worst solutions, aren't we?
We have sunk to the point where living in your car is an acceptable living option, and the government would rather have that, than address the basic problem of housing affordability.
To exacerbate the issue, many communities and states are "banning" and criminalizing homelessness, arresting people for the crime of being so poor you can't afford any sort of roof.
The beatings will continue until we learn to enjoy it.
Paraphrasing a quote I head years ago: Americans will always do the right thing, after exhausting all other possibilities.
Rofl send money to jungle Mexicans or prevent students being homeless.....
What are jungle Mexicans? I'm trying to be open minded but it sounds like your talking shit
