CALIFORNIA ACTIVISTS hope to build a $3B ‘all-inclusive’ city for the homeless.
I'm fine with it, provided they fund it on their own nickel, but I have two questions: (1) How
are they going to move 150,000 people 'outside the urban core'? and (2) where will the drug ingestion/injection sites be located?
Oh, and (3) why would any sane employee want to commute daily through an underground tunnel to a likely drug-infested pesthole? Or live among them?
Citizens Again (the activist group) really should spend some time looking back into history and I would suggest the science fiction author Mack Reynolds for a start. In the early 70's he wrote the
Bat Hardin series of novels (Commune 2000 A.D.; The Towers of Utopia; Rolltown ...) about life in an urban commune, similar to what Citizens Again is trying to build.
