Sorry ... I'm not trying to be glib. I think that is it insane that we have more empty houses than homeless in the US if statistics bandied about the internet are to be believed. And "business reasons" are given to stop the property redistributions because legal fictions fighting over a fiat currency say, "It will cost our bottom line."

And it is not that I think that projects like Quixote Village don't have real value to people that are in need. It is that the line of thinking panders to the status quo.
