        America is supposed to be a melting pot of different cultures, I think we can make it work and I’m sure those who are unhoused would much rather be able to live in a communal space with a roof and shower than nothing. Fuck corporate real estate profits and let the people live ffs

            Brazil is as young as the US and, despite interference from the former, still managed just fine to build walkable cities. Japan too.
