    Theeeere we are. So you have an interest in not seeing, and its stronger than your compassion. You identify with your Fucking job more than with your species, and fear the chance of losing some % of treats more than the certainty of people fucking dying of exposure abd pissing/shitting on the street and being exposed to countless indignities while they do it.

    What would you call someone like that?

      Real estate is a business, it doesnt side with one person or another… I can just explain to you why housing is expensive if you want to know, but I just think you are angry and want to yell at someone. Feel free, but it doesnt help you know the truth.

        I’m not angry about housing being expensive. I mean, I am, but I’m not willing to do anything about it.

        I’m angry that people are being murdered for your profits. Youre killing people. And its not even for anything.

        Fucking murderer. I hope, whoever you are, somebody stops you, in the only way that anyone can once youre this far gone.

          Uh yeah, there is more to real estate than residential housing… I forgive you for being rude and making false accusation. Let me tell you how the system works because you dont get it and maybe it will help you point your anger in the right direction.

          I take old structures that are vacant and renovate them and then sell or keep them, I do mainly offices and shops at this point. I had planned on making an old commercial building into 12 or so small apartments that would be affordable, and downtown of the smallish town I live in. The architect made the plans, they would be expensive but not crazy, the local government would not let me do this and would have cost waaaay too make it worth the cost. If the government was not obstructing development, that would be residential units, but its just storage. The government is the thing that you should be yelling at, not people that cant do the work because of them.

            So by “in real estate” you mean you’re a flipper and a landlord.

            In the building you were going to convert into apartments, how much were you going to rent these affordable apartments for?

            Oh. Yeah everybody thinks “turn offices into residences” is easy.

            I get that it’s not.

            I get that the government isn’t helping. None of my proposed solutions are ‘government’; they want people to die. Literally fighting for it in the supreme court right now. Like most major cities you can name have signed onto a case about criminalizing homelessness even when no other legal option exists.

            I’m talking about empty residential units. Commercial spaces being largely empty energy sucks on prime ground that will literally collapse if they lose climate control for three hours is its own shit show. Its not as much of an easy answer.

            But I’m just talking about residential units. Empty advertised residential units.

              I wasnt turning offices into residences. And it would be easy but expensive if the government wasnt so involved.

              If you are arguing “Put homeless into empty residential units” that is a really ignorant argument, it instantly falls apart if you look at it.
