The nation's 50 largest metro areas have millions of homes that aren't being used. There are under 500,000 unhoused individuals in the entire country.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    Maybe if we cut taxes for the rich a bit more, the market will solve this inefficiency.

      Why won’t anyone rent this 3 bedroom shack for my mortgage of $5,000 per month? How will I afford to keep it if you don’t pay for my mistakes?

      Which is weird because they’re built so poorly they won’t last even 50 years.
