You know whats funny too? This was discussed WAYY before in regards to all the displaced vets out on the streets.
Ever wonder why there are so many mentally unstable vets on the streets? Gov closed down SHIT-TONS of mental wards, most housing Viet vets. They didn't come home to a warm welcome at all, more often, the kind of welcome you'd give a friend that just F*d your sister. Many are still unfit for society, but Gov wouldn't do a thing about it.
I've been marinating on the idea that Govs should allow the reopening of dealership grounds not as carlots, but as shelters for those who need it. Who's known anyone that has lost their home? Who's ever gotten to know a homeless? How hard is it to get back on your feet?
All those shut down lots could be put to GREAT use. The land owners would be able to be given a tax break/cut based on the number of occupants housed, it generates a few hundred more jobs (janitor, on-site medical assistance, landlord) worldwide. May seem small, but the numbers add up.
Might write a letter to local gov. to push for that.
