There was one in an emergency shelter a local org had set up in a park. Basically people without homes could get on a list to get a shack built for them, basically an insulated shed with a window and a cot for sleeping but it was dry and had a lock on the door so people could own more than they carry. This fire happens at just the wrong time when things were opening up after covid. They let these shelters go ahead without interference because it covered their blind spot over covid restrictions on shelters, now they're interested in tourists again so that one fire got the rest torn down.
Phones are underrated harm reduction tools for addicts as well. If you have a phone you can have a steady dealer, steady dealer means you're more likely to have safe buys and not get bad batches and stuff like that.
Preaching to the fucking choir. They gave all of them 2 weeks in a hotel with felree meals and shit but that's two weeks, you still have jack shit when that's done but it's long enough to not be news anymore. Addiction and homelessness are my praxis focus it's infuriating how easy it would be to solve. It would be so fucking cheap to house the homeless and provide basic social safety nets. One shitty thing about mutual aide is that it's people living on the fringe of poverty helping people in a slightly worse situation and doing what should be the fucking government's job for them and it's not like you can go on strike helping the poor, you have to do their job for them and argue that they should be doing their job at the same time. It gets very stark that without seizing the means of production the people truly have absolutely nothing and everything is rented, bought or comes with strings attached and that can be taken at any time for any reason. It's perverse.
