You could give a bunch of homeless people housing, but there’s simply no structure around it. They have no money, and there’s no jobs. There’s no services around. They won’t be much better off than homeless in a big city tbh. Might be WORSE off.
There needs to be available housing near the places where there’s actually things to do, jobs to hold, services to use.
Worst part is, I bet a LOT of those ghots towns are suburban, not urban - so it makes it more difficult and expensive to build up a new community there. Everything is spaced out
Sounds like all those places need are people to live in them.
It’s a win-win.
…But nobody wants to live there.

They need economic activity to be livable. Shoving broke people onto a reservation doesn’t accomplish that.
They create the economic activity.
More people living in an area means there’s more to do and more people to do it.
On average, each additional person contributes more than they take out.
You have to go back and actually read Kapital.
Visit a refugee camp and explain that to the locals
Stalin thought Siberia needed a lot of people living there. Look how that turned out.
A lot of those places suck and they’re not going to turn into vibrant cultural centers with social services quickly.
It won’t happen overnight.
If homeless people would prefer living in tents under highways, that’s their choice.
