In a future where the whole world is a parking lot…

When I was a homeless student, I slept in the library.
This is not a solution but a symptom of homelessness.
Where a car is more affordable then a home
definitely not saying it would be ideal, but you would think universities could set up sleeping pods at a minimum. some students could use for the term, others could check one out when in need.
Countries (and their citizens) will desperately not vote to tax the rich. It’s the last thing they will do.
What do you mean “solution”? This is the problem. A symptom of it, at least. A solution would be to provide housing.

Or, ya know, could use the empty classrooms around campus???
Don’t American universities have dorms for the students?
@vsg @technocrit Most don’t have enough for all their students and they’re expensive to live in if they are available. A lot of larger schools are surrounded by outrageously expensive private for-profit student housing complexes built on the ability to overcharge teenagers living off student loans for crappy accommodations without them understanding how badly they’re being ripped off. Meanwhile homeowners near universities lobby to ban affordable rentals to protect their property values.
@vsg @technocrit This has all gotten much worse over the last few decades as state governments have systematically defunded public higher education and tried to “run it like a business” instead of an essential public service at the same time as degrees were becoming more essential to earning a living wage.
