Makes me think of maps of Disneyland.

Also makes me think of my fantasies years ago of making a Disneyland-esque map for resources for homeless folks. And I no longer want to do that as I believe it essentially grows the problem.

I just want more affordable housing, better public transit and more walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. You know: Less homelessness.

Not holding my breath, mind you. I do live in "the third world country of America." But it's what I choose to put my very limited time and effort into.

This is silly. You expect anyone to take you seriously?

I don't count the number of anecdotal instances of thinking "wow US is really like a third world country" -from your northern neighbor
