>>1450388>you're not going to be placated anywherei said show me under 400.. not unreasonable and was still possible in the 80s and early 90s.. Literally unless you have the time to hunt for deals you will end up in a 700 dollar a month studio if you just move to a place for work or something.
Considering how many homeless people there are, there is a free market DEMAND to house these people and get them out of the street where they are bothering people and spreading disease. Imagine when coronavirus shows up in LA. Adam Smith, when he wrote wealth of nations said that the rich need to help the poor to some extent and we can see in other countries that there are viable low income housing and slum lords and such. That is illegal or disincentivized in the west and we deal with homelessness and or the welfare state instead.
