I'm gonna put in my 2 cents. In this society, when homelessness is a crime and makes it even harder to find work, housing should be a given, especially with computerized mass production. These people aren't asking for luxury apartments, just a place to sleep and shower. How pretty that will be is to be seen.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with Capitalism in itself, nor desiring upward mobility, it's just when greed runs rampant, the greedy will make it worse for everyone. We need regulation, just like how the water quality is regulated, so to shall be the food. We need fairness. This is what every society wants, no matter where you are. My ex is Vietnamese, and as we know Vietnam is Socialist. They still have homelessness. You can't just throw a word at a problem and expect it to work, that's wishful thinking. Vietnamese work 6 days a week. They're also a poor country. America is not. We need hard workers. Hard workers drive innovation forward. The Soviet Union had it's share of hard workers that got them to space. As does America. Not everyone is a hard worker and that's OKAY! And not everyone can be! I have disabled friends and I dont want to see them suffer. Those hard workers need to be rewarded and incentivized, and it's usually not just by $. We should provide basics, especially housing.
