      We could easily build and make available homes for everyone who needed one. It's just that homeless people's preferences aren't taken into account in how we allocate our productive resources.

      It's not even always a matter of building those homes, but just who we give them to. In LA, for example there are about 110k empty housing units and about 23k people without homes. We prioritize building homes for people who don't need them above building homes for people who do.

      How do you mean? We already have built enough homes in LA for everyone to have one, they were just given to people who didn't need them.

      This seems a bit naive. As a homeless person, there were times when I passed up housing opportunities because they weren't compatible with work or with other basic requirements of living. Houses also depreciate without maintenance. It's possible some houses are "too much house"

      Ok, so then we can dedicate more resources to making sure we build housing that's adequate for people's needs.

      It's clear that our current setup with private land ownership and private development doesn't service people's needs in practice, and in theory we shouldn't be surprised since most people's needs aren't taken into account.

      I support Andrew Yang and UBI personally: Capitalism where income doesn't start at zero. I think that is a reasonable adjustment based on the situation you are describing.

      I don't think UBI is necessarily bad, but just giving people $1000/mth doesn't change much about who makes decisions about what we use our productive resources on

      I think it's better to start by giving everyone the things we know we need (e.g., health care, a home) which adds up to a lot more already and then to start reorganizing society to make decision-making more democratic

      As a member of one of the most hated minority groups I can't reconcile myself to democracy as a solution to anything

          Democracy doesn't mean to be tyranny of a majority. E.g., I think guaranteeing housing to everyone would make our society more democratic because it would mean more people would get to participate in it.

          I don't agree with Bernie on everything, but I do think he has a much more compelling vision, and a more workable plan to improve our society than giving everyone $1000/mth. You can check out his policies here, there's a lot of good stuff https://berniesanders.com/issues/
