If it sounds familiar, Star Trek DS9 called this back in the 90s. And the episode was set in 2024.
under nearly any other administration I'd think this could be OK
like yeah, giving the homeless a proper residence and food and healthcare and whatnot could help them out a lot
but I don't think that's what this administration has in mind
yeah it would be better to just invest into more local state-run facilitiesStates already have these kind of programs and places for them to go. SF also at one point had a bunch of SRO but they're all but gone thanks to the housing boom
A federal plan for this would just be some form of jail.
I have no doubt that conversations have been happening between the private prison and the debt collection industries.
Oh shit. The only way to stop this from happening is to make sure it's adequately funded once it does.
You're joking, but people are trying to make this an actual thing
Considering how automation and globalization will disrupt our current economic realities, and make it next to impossible for a large set of the population to have any kind of work that could pay them a living wage, that's a pretty interesting take on a possible 21st century history. It's fairly nuanced, too, it doesn't portray the society as outright evil, just uncaring. They don't know what else to do with those people, but are unwilling to change the way their society works.

How the fuck are you going to solve homelessness if you think free housing = concentration camps? The plan isn't to round them up for execution.
