Homelessness is not due to a lack of physical structures. It is a result of alcohol, drug addiction and mental illness. Since about 10% of the population is very susceptible to these problems and since society has lost the will to confine and control them, the “homelessness” problem will never be resolved and will be used for political purposes to advance narratives.

If I were homeless I wouldn’t want to live with a bunch of homeless people.
I’d go on my own.

[Jonty30]

Workfare works for me.

According to the pictures in the article...life is just peachy.

Bringing homeless residents into the mall experience.

Also it brings the homeless closer to the suburbs.

[unixfox]

Like drug addicts and alcoholics. They need enablers.

Why are big box stores vacant?

Bezo’s pandemic ran them out of business.

The Homeless problem can be fixed overnight. We just need to Mandate that ALL Public Employee’s take at least one Homeless Person into thier home as a guest and Allow Camping within 500 feet of the personal residence of a Public Employee or Officer of the Court.

"… a creative solution for underutilized retail space."

Interesting. But who would want to buy a homeless person?

Most homeless won’t go to shelters because of rules. Won’t there be rules at these money vacuums? What changes other than the taxpayer is fleeced again?

[angry elephant]

Since they insist on building shelters for the homeless I would suggest that they build them more in a dormitory or barracks style with shared bathrooms and kitchens. College students live in dorms and military guys live in barracks. People used to live in bunkhouses.

Americans are spoiled to the idea that every low-income person needs a whole complete living space. There used to be rooming houses. In Seattle the Fremont Hotel used to be a sort of flophouse for seamen and transient workers.

Too much expense goes into building out plumbing when some of the working poor just need a place to sleep, to shower and warm up food. We have homeless workers in the Seattle area who can not afford pricey apartments and condos but could get off the street in very modest accommodations.

I would imagine the first hurdle is getting the properties rezoned as residential!
