Uh yeah, there is more to real estate than residential housing… I forgive you for being rude and making false accusation. Let me tell you how the system works because you dont get it and maybe it will help you point your anger in the right direction.
I take old structures that are vacant and renovate them and then sell or keep them, I do mainly offices and shops at this point. I had planned on making an old commercial building into 12 or so small apartments that would be affordable, and downtown of the smallish town I live in. The architect made the plans, they would be expensive but not crazy, the local government would not let me do this and would have cost waaaay too make it worth the cost. If the government was not obstructing development, that would be residential units, but its just storage. The government is the thing that you should be yelling at, not people that cant do the work because of them.
Oh. Yeah everybody thinks “turn offices into residences” is easy.
I get that it’s not.
I get that the government isn’t helping. None of my proposed solutions are ‘government’; they want people to die. Literally fighting for it in the supreme court right now. Like most major cities you can name have signed onto a case about criminalizing homelessness even when no other legal option exists.
I’m talking about empty residential units. Commercial spaces being largely empty energy sucks on prime ground that will literally collapse if they lose climate control for three hours is its own shit show. Its not as much of an easy answer.
But I’m just talking about residential units. Empty advertised residential units.
“They can’t live in the same spaces as us” like wtf, do you think they need scratching posts or they get sad? That they wither and die without a nitrogen-sulphur atmosphere?

I wasnt turning offices into residences. And it would be easy but expensive if the government wasnt so involved.
If you are arguing “Put homeless into empty residential units” that is a really ignorant argument, it instantly falls apart if you look at it.
Youre acting like they’re fundamentally a different species.
Sure dude

I dont know what you are talking about.
