Holy shit, for the third time in a row, no, I am not okay with authoritarianism. I said that with sufficient housing, it should not be necessary. No. No compulsion.
there's that juvenile sentiment again. And there "shouldn't" be any burglaries, car thefts, armed robbery, or murder, either. Nevertheless, they've always existed and always will. And compulsion will always be a part of the civilized state.
and yet you won't name any of your ideal cities, nor comment on the Harlem House, that New Deal-era paradigm. Or note that people living in there are paying rents, albeit subsidized. But you want to give homeless people that, except for free.
"Inchoate yearnings" pretty well describes it for you.
