30. The only way that can be effective...
is if all of the places where those homes sit develop the public transportational infrastructure for those homeless or disadvantaged people.

Many/most of these people do not have cars or other methods of transportation to even get to a job or nearby stores. And try fighting the asshole conservative NIMBY contingent in the suburbs where most of these developments are located.

I'm with you. I think it's a wonderful idea. But the obstacles are in place, and the obstructionists would put up a fierce battle.

I was recently informed that that is why Waukesha County here in Wisconsin does not want public transportation. Because "those people" will be able to take it to come out to the suburbs and rob people.
