  • There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.

    In order to solve that problem you need

    1. Safe housing to provide to those people
    2. A system for assigning those people to the housing.

    Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

    1. Hold them accountable through voting
    2. Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we’re able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

    Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.

    Who cares if they’re trolling?

    What’s the downside to assuming they posted this image in good faith?

    Does it upset you that people might have different preferences than what you feel are the “correct” preferences?

    Instead of reposting a picture outside of its original context, why not make a post with your own tier list and use it as a way to genuinely engage with other people?


  • I don’t think people should have to do that, but including context is generally an important part of asking a question.

    Like if I’m trying to fix a problem and I need help I’d be like “I’m getting error code 123 on my printer (make, model). I’ve tried turning it off and on again, unplugged it from the wall, but the error always pops up as soon as it finishes powering on. Anyone have any experience with this and how to solve it?”














  • I’m using the same structure as the original comment to make it easier to compare/contrast.

    The fact that it’s causing you mental unrest means you need to report to the main office for a Voight-Kampff test. The tortoise lays on its back, it’s belly baking in the hot sun trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
