A modest proposal.

[randomness]

If we're going to collectively own all these mortgages we're bailing out, I propose we start a collective crash space program with all those properties.

I'm not even asking the current owner/tenants to provide a bed, although I suppose we could make that a condition of aid. I can sleep in a sleeping bag as long as the roof is intact.

It really would rock to have possible crash space anywhere in the United States. And think of the effect on labor mobility!

that actually makes sense; some of the flood of foreclosed properties should be converted to low-income housing.
