    like I said. warm enough you won’t freeze in the winter. because a ticket to california is cheaper than a shelter bed

    that’s the thing. you live there. so clearly a person can live there, but sending their surplus population to us, half compassionately, half throwing them away, is cheaper. it’s cool. we can just be an externality, and at least nod at having a society so you don’t have to. or at least we could til we got a san francisco guy in sacramento.

    yeah rent is the problem. too many empty units while people are dying on the streets, and landlords are squeezing us all, trying to drive us to slavery.

    edit: I’m saying there are people who will want to go home. who like the cold, or at least would rather deal with the cold than with the earthquakes and fires and heat stroke and being in a huge fucking city all the time.

        so you help them out with that. maybe provide insulation or some shit. I dunno. everything needs a little scaffolding to make it work. this seems like less than most stuff.
