The time has long passed since the “inevitable” things should have come into existence, for example universal basic housing. What happened instead of the advent of it is something to behold: somehow instead of supply being provisioned in response to demand, we simply changed the excess demand into an externality. Now there’s been a lot of “rage” about this, but it hasn’t been effectual. We still have plenty of homelessness right now and no particular mechanism to control it. We may not be ready for this change, but that doesn’t mean we will accept the change instead of simply pretending the problem never existed and should never exist, if everyone just behaved right.
