    A bit how the governments doesn’t build more houses to meet the demand and make it more affordable but instead make anti homeless benches etc. Almost like it would stop people being homeless

      What’s crazy us, there’s actually enough existing housing for everyone, at least in the US to have a home. It’s just all owned by massive real estate corporations and left empty. The state doesn’t need to build more housing, they just won’t distribute what’s there. But let’s be real, they don’t want people to stop being homeless. Our prison industry is private and for-profit, they want them to be homeless so they can criminalize and arrest them, so they can make them do cheap/free prison labor.
