You're living in a townhouse as part of an apartment complex. The apartment complex has benefits such as a pool and hot tub, indoor gym, full size basketball court, a library, and a garden. You have 2 other roommate/coworkers, and you have 6 neighbor/coworkers. A Labor neutrality agreement is guaranteed, and both tenant unions and labor unions will be voluntarily recognized.

People like you and me are kept far the fuck away from making governmental decisions.

    I'm not going to go to government, I'm going to go to tenant unions and housing advocates and get their support, then use my union connections to get time with the AG

    I'm saying that you think the government cares about homeless people enough to, you know, HOUSE them.

    Providing housing is a pretty basic concept, and not in anyway new. We have several types of housing programs, ALL of them desperately underfunded.

    You are expecting a housing program that is much more convoluted and complicated and expensive but probably no more effective to be implemented. Why?
