I kinda get it. Having people living in their cars in residential neighborhoods depresses property values, and in the US we need property values to stay up or increase so people can afford to retire. Most middle-class folks are ridiculously misinformed about why homeless people can't afford to rent.

Someone quoted from the article that it's a single lot with 40 spaces and everyone sleeping in their car there will have a case manager supposedly helping them work toward housing. Once again believing it's just a matter of individual people making bad choices.

Why should property values have to increase for people to retire? Maybe people should stop buying homes as investments to sell for more money instead of as places to live.

> we need property values to stay up or increase More and more people are renting because owning is becoming financially untenable. There will be a point where public attitudes invert on property value maximization in a big way.
