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.

And with close access to free paper printing to make such incredible decorations with.
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

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 20 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 10 hours ago

Community colleges don't typically house students.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] watson@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago
[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

That's right! These colleges should be providing buses and train cars for these kids to sleep in !

[-] watson@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

[-] watson@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

It’s never the wrong place for this take.

Fuck cars

[-] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] watson@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[-] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] watson@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

How horrific

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 hours ago

Omg this is the dumbest take. 😂

[-] watson@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

This seems like a comment that was made from a toilet.

Don’t wipe until you bleed!

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

I was on board until you came at the toilet posters

[-] watson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Fair enough
