Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

How is this different from real life?

In big cities, they will just move them around different neighborhoods until people complain. Has been going on for years.

So yeah we are not quite there with the removal but they are testing their ability

I mean, having made homelessness illegal, I am sure the police will be ignoring them a bit less.

In the game, this happens even when housing is available and affordable - the bug is that the homeless people are wealthy and there are vacant, affordable houses that they can move into, they just choose to be homeless. There isn’t even a markup from landlords, because an update already deleted them.

In real life, the problem is that we still have landlords. Idk why we don’t just delete them like the game devs did.

they just choose to be homeless
