Hookup city
See? We can have a society in which some people have 10 homes and some have none.

Tbh as someone who had to sleep in her car a few times in college, it would have been a nice thing to have. Like, yeah it's bad that it's needed, and an indoor option like some benches in rooms that are unused at night would've been also desired, but the most important thing was being able to know I wouldn't get in trouble for sleeping somewhere.
I get that college is expensive, but I think this hits more closely at the lack of social services and the inherent instability in the lives of people new to adulthood. They don't have the financial backing to get a hotel for a night, especially as they're putting in a full time job of their education (though they may very well be working as well).
They're also just more likely to be in unstable living conditions. Compared to adults 5-10 years older they're far less likely to be in stable long term habitation of their choosing and instead are far more likely to be living with roommates, parents, or a partner of only a few years or even less with whom they have little commitment beyond a lease. These situations are more volatile, especially in ways that can lead to needing to sleep somewhere else for a few nights.

Paper curtains, paper quilts, and my homework was used for those paper coasters.
Fuck cars, OMG
Edit: downvote if you love homelessness, and like sucking the cum out of Trump’s dick
Cars are the cause of this problem, and cars are never the solution to anything unless you want more climate change, parking lot, and the housing shortages those things come with
More like, fuck the system that necessitates everyone having to buy a car, causing the cities to require buildings be built too far from each other to safely walk, providing no reasonable space to house the students.
Community colleges don't typically house students.
Because it's always been assumed the local students have homes, usually with their parents or because they have jobs and apartments. But even job doesn't equal being able to rent anymore, plus kids get thrown out for being LGBTQ+, or their parents are unable to house them because of their own poverty. Community college fees are relatively low, but still a stretch for these students, who are trying to get a foothold out of the bucket.
Right, but criticizing a community college for not having infrastructure that they usually don't have is dumb.
This school went out of their way to help the students who needed it. The fact that students need it isn't the college's fault.
Well obviously any community college is chronically underfunded to start with, and this is something rather than nothing. The criticism belongs with the ~~community~~society as a whole, for making it impossible to find an affordable place to live. There's undoubtedly plenty of empty luxury housing within a reasonable distance
I didn’t criticize the college, I was criticizing the system that makes housing prohibitively expensive and out of reach for students. Nowhere did I say that’s the responsibility of the college itself.
Yes, but also, fuck cars
That's right! These colleges should be providing buses and train cars for these kids to sleep in !
Or, instead of wasting ridiculous amount of money on car shit, perhaps they could build more housing?
Fuck cars
Wrong place for this take right now
Edit: don't feed the troll.
It’s never the wrong place for this take.
Fuck cars
That one is sadly not a car but a housing problem.
I think in some time we will hear about students in tents living in those garages
I share the dislike to automobiles but in this case taking away cars and this garage would hurt minorities the most
Oh really? You think if cars didn’t exist, people would still be sleeping in parking lots?
Edit: of course, the only response to this is a childish insult
Edit: so many Zionist Nazis here… fuck nazi Israel
Downvote if you love genocide and like sucking Trump’s dick
I mean they would be ~~parking~~ lots then
It has a roof and protection againt wind should be relativly easy
So as long as homeless exist they will be used
How horrific

Omg this is the dumbest take. 😂
This seems like a comment that was made from a toilet.
