I’m not defending commodity landownership. Rent seeking behavior shouldn’t be rewarded, and I think housing people by transferring ownership of vacant units to them without remuneration to prior landlords would promote the public good.
My point was that as you change the perspective by which you look at a problem like homelessness, the casual factors change, as do the sorts of solutions that people consider. Yes, some of them are really bad at large scales, and I’d rather focus on smaller scales for that reason. At city/metro scales, it’s a lot easier to make meaningful change, and there’s something special about helping your neighbors like that. You’ve kind of made my point for me, there.
