Nobody is homeless waiting for a home to be built they can purchase. There isn't a physical housing shortage.

Are you suggesting that building affordable homes wouldn't help anyone escape homelessness?

[–] MaxHardwood 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Homeless people aren't usually the class that can secure a mortgage or have the cash to purchase a home regardless of the affordability of the home.

[–] ramjambamalam 1 points 10 months ago

Right, but you can also rent affordable housing...
