There are currently more empty homes in the US than there are homeless people. There are roughly 30 empty units for each homeless person.
There are plenty of entire ghost towns they can move into for free right now, but nobody will because the housing needs to be near the jobs.
Some of those units are being renovated, some are in the process of being sold or leased, some are being lived in but the owners are on vacation. The latter is especially true for summer homes, which are empty most of the year but wouldn't be useful to homeless people because they're nowhere near the jobs - that's the point of a holiday home!
Seriously, if it were just homes then you can get something really basic for $20k. The real problem is the land and the permission to build.
Let's see this alternative knowledge be handled by chief turd and his Nazi committee.
