More colleges are looking at emergency housing solutions, including have students sleeping in alumni’s homes, napping pods, Airbnbs and even an assisted living facility.
Well obviously any community college is chronically underfunded to start with, and this is something rather than nothing. The criticism belongs with the communitysociety as a whole, for making it impossible to find an affordable place to live. There’s undoubtedly plenty of empty luxury housing within a reasonable distance
psst, don’t let you understand of economic reality get in the way of someone’s irrational rage.
if community colleges had dorms they would rapidly become non-affordable. the reason they are affordable is they are so minimalist in terms of amenities and services.
and this is why so much ‘left’ policy fails… because it works from an idealism that has no material limits, and often causes the exacerbates the very issues it aims to solve. like being tolerant of homelessness and watching the homeless problem grow, rather than trying to address the material problem that causes homelessness. because the former is easy, and scores points with the left voter base… but eventually bites them in the ass when the liberal voters get pissed off at people shooting up drugs in front of their kids which they now have to witness. then suddenly pro-tolerance stance becomes ‘get these people off the streets’.
Right, but criticizing a community college for not having infrastructure that they usually don’t have is dumb.
This school went out of their way to help the students who needed it. The fact that students need it isn’t the college’s fault.
