That’s literally homelessness. Living in a car is being homeless. What do they think homelessness is?
From the other examples, so is living in a napping pod. Debatably so are living in an alumnus’ house or an assisted living facility, or even the Airbnb example, depending on the precarity of the arrangement, but obviously any of those are better than being made to live in a parking lot (what about students without cars?) or a napping pod (at least you don’t need to own a car for this one).
An actual solution to student homelessness? Build more student dorms and house them there.
Homelessness is being naked and starving sleeping in the middle of a national highway in winter. Any upgrade from that and you become a temporarily embarrassed landlord
Homelessness isnt just not having a home, its being chased around by police for simply trying to sleep. This, as bleak as it is, is a huge improvement over the conditions most homeless people are in
I absolutely agree, but it’s still homelessness being presented as a solution to homelessness.
But you see if we build student dorms we gotta charge like 50% more than market rent for reasons
Another one for the sadly eternal banger of “literally every problem can be fixed by applying more car” politics of pretty much everywhere
landlords, to slumlords, to parkinglords
There’s probably going to be a non-insignificant number of people who are mad about this being “a handout” that “creates dependency” or something.
Me explaining to MFs that landowners get fucktons of handouts.
The students exist and that brings up the land value. If anything rent for on-campus housing should be dirt cheap to compensate the students for their “services”.
Capitalism punishes success. Look at California, the state which did everything right and is literally succeeding itself to death.
china is still evil even tho like 80% of young ppl own their own homes
Evil China deprives their university students of the Freedom to live out of their cars!
“Comrades, there must be something wrong- I wanted to live in a crumbling capitalist dystopia where I can barely make ends meet, my taxes are used to fund the bombing of brown children overseas, and the rights of minorities are rapidly diminished as our political parties work together to exploit the working class.”
“GET HOUSING, EDUCATION, AND ALL YOUR BASIC NEEDS MET”
This is a demonstration of the innate Chinese bigotry towards nomadic peoples. First, a great wall to keep the steppe nomads out, now the kids can’t choose to live off their 21st century horse (aka a car).
Smell that? I sleep with a convertible to smell the freedom in the air. Not that commie wind that carries the muffled screams for freedom
I saw one time a trend of people in China who were camping in those small cars
i started reading but it felt like they were labeling this as “a good thing” and i don’t hurt my brain purposefully. was i right to stop?
This is gonna turn into generations of families living in RV parking lots, but instead of an RV it will be a Volkswagen golf. Where they will be working to pay off grandma’s debts.
We’ll learn those lots are all owned by Warren Buffet VI who says he’s “providing a needed service”.
Freedom™ and democracy™ !
: “You will own nothing and be happy!”
: “I will not eat the bugs, I will not live in the pod!”
: “You will own nothing and be happy!”
: “Yes PLEASE! Anything for YOU, porky!”
the worker has become one with the car they use
