Well, there's quite a bit more to it than that. An acre of land a hundred miles from a population center is essentially useless to someone without the money to build a dwelling with utilities or to obtain food
It's essentially useless to most people with the money to do those things too.
Which part of protist’s statement implied any of what you said?
The point is that you went from 0-100 and implied that someone who clearly shows compassion towards the unhoused is calling for the bulldozing of tent camps, which is an extremely traumatic and sad thing that isn’t funny.
No one owes you shit.
Bruh, I work in homeless services. Egad man, get a grip
I "cherry picked a plot of land 100 miles from a population center" because that's where the vast majority of the federally-owned land is, out west in the middle of nowhere.
I said absolutely nothing about my opinions on what policies can be instituted to alleviate homelessness and associated issues, because my only point was that your idea is dumb. I work full time in homeless services and live and breathe bettering unhoused people's lives. I have no idea why you're directing anger at everyone here, at people who don't disagree in any way with your actual criticism of the problem of homelessness in the US, but you should probably explore it with a therapist.
