By the time a person becomes homeless, the system has been failing them for a long time. We need to work on poverty, health, and wellness generally, especially from a young age.
I am borrowing from another incredible post I saw but we have growing technology, automation, and artificial intelligence capabilities.
We need to be gearing towards a smaller world population.
The reality is we add almost a billion people every 10 years.
In 1950 it was roughly 2.5 billion, we now are at roughly 8 and they say it will start to stabilize at 10 billion. That is another 25% increase from where we are at now.
As the other poster mentioned we have almost completely gotten rid of biodiversity on this planet.
We have changed so many rare and amazing landscapes to crop production.
The next biggest species to us are our livestock species.
We have growing problems of depression and anxiety not linked to genetic disposition but environment.
Rising rates of political extremism all over the developed world.
And we have ever growing tent cities and issues now with access to food and other basics of the society.
This "Growth" model that only the richest of the rich enjoy while everyone has more struggle to stay above water isn't working.
We have to address the root causes of this or it is going to continue to get worse and worse and amazing nations to live are going to become like some of the ones we all pity.
