    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.
