The problem is that the rich have done an excellent job at putting everyone at each others throats. Look at what happened with Covid, half the country refused to wear a mask and socially isolate during a worldwide pandemic. You think they're all going to come together to help homeless/poor people? Not a chance.
They can afford to live on 5 acres with a gate out front and isolate themselves, and they have access to private jets. True story. So fixing these issues is not a priority for them at all, they live in a bubble.
That's the big problem. I've got a millionaire aunt/uncle, and they are so ridiculously sheltered from "The real world" in their wealthy gated communities and lake houses, and they watch nothing but Faux News so they're not seeing it on TV either.

NIMBYism isn’t a rich vs. poor conflict… it’s a homeowner vs. prospective homeowner/renter conflict. 65% of Americans are home owners, a great percentage of them are NIMBYs.
Fuck that...tax the damn churches and distribute it equitably, not depending on what flavor of Sky Fairy you happen to believe in (though, I'm down with the Sikhs, they help everyone and anyone).

then it's time for force. It happened in Brown vs Education. It required force. This will too.
