Maybe like our affordable housing requirements, we can require 15- 20% of new public spaces as homeless encampment areas?

Ie here is the train platform, but we also have room for the tent city 🙄

Maybe we can try to address why they became homeless in the first place?

Maybe we can solve World hunger and war at the same time too?

Tf does the world matter here. You are in a NYC sub. Idk if you’re new here or just playing pretend, but it’s winter and you are going to find more homeless folks indoors. Always has been that way, and I’d rather people not freeze to death.

Yes so we use billion dollar transit centers as homeless shelters? Shouldn't we have appropriate homeless shelters with resources enstead of people living in transit centers. Throw in the obligatory most of the homeless in transit hubs are street homeless which have severe mental illness (typically schizophrenia) and or have a severe drug problem.

The point is how did building new transit facilities turn into solving the homeless problem? You’ll never get anything accomplished if you keep make the scope bigger
