If we can build parking buildings and hotels, we can build affordable apartments. Homelessness is not a lack of resources, it's a political choice.

And you can fit dozens of parks in the space of one apartment, without the expense of walls, linings, or fittings. It's just good business! : P
@strypey Aren't hotels and parking buildings built to make profit from leasing them, so they are self-sustainable businesses? Would you pay for houses for homeless from your pocket?

Nailed it. Choosing profit-making over housing people who'd otherwise be left homeless is a political choice.

That's one option that remains after the political choice above has been made. Another is to let people continue to be homeless. Again, these are all political choices, not necessities because of a lack of resources.
