Obviously the system should be fixed and charity isn't a solution, but wouldn't it be cool if a wealthy person or organization or "company" just bought all these houses to solve homelessness?
I think because of ex post facto, it would take 2 years at least for the housing problem to be solved in this scenario, and I don't know if handing private assets over to any particular federal government (ahem, US government) would result in the benefit to unhoused people that this comment suggests.
First sellers get rewarded tho. Imagine massive housing speculation tank, but if you sell quick, maybe you beat it. So it doesn't take two years.
