> we have to stop making it illegal to build enough homes for people that need them

There's already enough homes (in the USA, at least) to house all the homeless people in the country. Unfortunately, giving homes away wouldn't be profitable, and profit is all that seems to matter.



What about the fact that those homes are not equally distributed geographically? There are reasons people prefer to live near their families, workplaces, places with good weather, etc.


without profit as incentive, no homes would've been build. Or maybe they would've been, North Korea style.


Sounds like you agree that there's a problem with a system the prioritizes profit over everything else :)
