You know, the socialist in me says that this problem should be easy to solve:

So if we "re-settle" homeless people to empty properties, what next? What if they have no opportunities for jobs.
In the 1990s there was a movement to provide a 1 time welfare benefit to the poor: a decent place to live, 100% free. No other benefit ever. Is this similar to what you are proposing?
I remember how furious pro-bum progressives were when Guiliani forced them off the streets of NYC and into shelters. He also put an end to the constant panhandling which tended to tarnish otherwise great trips to museums and other cultural experiences in the city.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

A socialist distribution could certainly unite the homeless with homes! The most common problem that has plagued (planned) socialist economies was that of product shortages. Well clearly there is no shortage of housing units in today's America, so that's not an issue here. All we have to do to resolve homelessness in America today is move people into homes. That CAN be done.Captain Obvious wrote:
