They’ll legalize this and call it groundbreaking while real houses sit empty

They’ll demolish this while real houses sit empty

Sounds like he’s not unhoused anymore, and he’s earned some land.

Given that it’s Los Angeles, that shelter could probably go for about $175,000.

The housing market is a gatekept pile of shit, people getting their time stolen from them for something not as valuable as this fake fucking system makes it out to be. NIMBYism is a core part of accelerationism, let’s go NIMBY fucks.

“There are men who, through ownership of land, are able to make others pay for the privilege of being allowed to exist and to work. These landowners are idle, and I might therefore be expected to praise them. Unfortunately, their idleness is only rendered possible by the industry of others; indeed their desire for comfortable idleness is historically the source of the whole gospel of work. The last thing they have ever wished is that others should follow their example.”

― Bertrand Russell

So is homeless a bad word now or something? Why did we invent a new word this?

Here in the Global South we call that “business as usual.”

So…favelas anyone? Gotta start somewhere.
