  • Do you… actually think this solves anything? Like, at all? It’s short-sighted, pointless, and genuinely selfish. “I don’t like looking at the unhoused, so they need to go… elsewhere.”

    Housing is becoming unaffordable for the middle class, what are these people supposed to do!? We as a society have abandoned them, and it’s now costing more money to harass and bully them, and to get them some semblance of health care and remove their bodies when they die out in the streets than it would to house them. Look it up! We have enough housing for everyone, but investments in homes and AirBNB and time shares and tourist rentals and property management companies have to continue making rich assholes more money every year…

    The moment living on the streets is a choice for all the unhoused in this country is when I will join with you to regulate where they choose to slum it and not a second before.


  • Good points! Keyboard, monitor, and mouse are so crazy cheap (for one that is at least fully functional) that they probably aren’t worth mentioning, at least in terms of extra cost. They’re also the most easily-replaceable parts on any rig! I bet most people would be able to get free/low-cost versions of these, no matter where they live. Many people could leave workstation-level models of these for people. No LEDs or extra features, but completely usable…
