Empty buildings

From "Welcome to The Nevada Forum!"

Go to the project

There are many empty buildings in this state that sit there empty for months and months, even years. USE THOSE EMPTY BUILDINGS TO HOUSE THE HOMELESS. Every single day there are people looking for shelter, especially ones with children, and the elderly. There are not enough shelters. So I say use those empty buildings.

Public building is a great place to house the homeless, it’s a good use for empty buildings
    If you want to use empty public buildings, I can see a plus to your argument. But you cannot, and shouldn't, force private property owners to shelter people who are not always able to keep a residence on their own.

      You need permission from owner it’s a liability
        If our state in the past can eminent domain low income apartments to allow Steve Wynn to build the wynn and encore, why can't our politicians have that same level of Gusto for the current houseless population? For far too long the rich have imposed their will on the poor and that inequity is breeding such desperation in the most vulnerable in our society that I fear it puts our literal society at risk of failure. I mean for goodness sakes look at our current situation. To quote Plato's The Republic, "Who, on hearing these words, would choose to fight against lean wiry dogs, rather th than, with the dogs on their side, against fat and tender sheep?" Desperate people render desperate deeds I hope that the government can do something to alleviate that desperation that hunger that houselessness. We also need desperately Social Security disability income reform people are literally losing their houses and livelihood because of it.
