This is why you always book it as one flight with the airline even if it has multiple hops - its their responsibility to reschedule all the missed connections for free.
I said that to my wife at Petsmart just yesterday. They asked on the register to donate to some pet charity and I said, “why can’t Petsmart just use some of their bajillion dollars in profits to pay for it? Why are they asking me to give money to their charity when I’ve already paid them money?”
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.
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.
The big caveat there is that the US is, by design, horrible at counting homeless people. The official number you see the most, 582.000, is based on people going out in the street and counting the number of homeless they actually see that night, and the number of people in shelters. Obviously that’s going to miss a LOT of people, so the number is much higher in reality.
That’s not to say it’s a fucking crime against humanity that there are houses sitting empty for years while people are homeless, of course.
