Kent Pitman<a href="https://mastodon.social/@climatebrad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@climatebrad</a> It feels to me like "build more housing" can't be the answer. You almost might as well say "make more land". It's not a durable solution. And it doesn't address the many other aspects of society that need to be addressed. Jobs food commerce in general, schools, the nature and flow of community itself.A favorite quote comes to mind."Better implies different." --Amar Bose, at an MIT Enterprise Forum event(He was trying to explain to sales people at stores that would sell Bose speakers why they had to make changes in how they set them up. "Couldn't they just do what they'd always done?" The people would ask. They were used to that and did not want to change. He was trying to explain succinctly why you can't just radically improve something and leave it the same at the same time. So he, explained, that slogan had emerged.)Surely higher population density at some point means using existing resources differently. I'm not pushing an agenda here, but I am observing that higher density feels less compatible within every person for themselves and traditional-ownership / rent-taking-for-profit model. Surely that brings a 2-tiered citizenship and breeds discontent/danger as inequality simmers. In computer science, we talk about building systems that scale, planning for higher traffic. This could really be done in a system that did not plan for scale without the architecting the system entirely, and I've even seen some of pine that every factor of 10 in scale requires a redesign.Sometimes the architectural plan is indeed to just add servers, but that has to be planned in, and there has to be a source of servers, and the system architecture has to be structured such that in the new model, all the necessary flows will happen correctly and resources won't be cut off from each other or too hard to access or too expensive. "Build more housing." does not sound like the kind of answer I could give in a job interview and expect to be hired, with the hiring manager saying "this person has clearly demonstrated their understanding of operating at scale". The answer is not of a shape that seems right to me, nor does it offer sufficient detail.A lot of capitalism seems to operate on a theory that you just twist some knobs and everything will just happen right without coordination. I think this is less and less true as either populations grow larger or resources grow smaller or resources become more stressed.I did not write the accompanying article specifically to address this issue, and yet I feel like it says some important additional things I might say here if I were to ramble on. It is not a complete discussion of scale, but more discussion of why I don't think the traditional ways of thinking about just turning a few knobs is likely to keep working.

quackademicIf we actually support women who are seeking to leave abusive situations they can do so, safely. Who would have thought? 🤦🏼‍♀️Imagine how many more kids would grow up in safe homes instead of scary ones if every family experiencing crisis had access to safe housing, immediate, tailored support & healthcare, along with access to a clear pathway to long term security. Crisis services are great, but imagine how different our societies would be if Everyone had access to safe housing, healthcare, education & a livable income. For All Our Lives. That these things don’t happen here is a political choice. <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FamilyViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FamilyViolence</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocialPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialPolicy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-10/sanctuary-safe-steps-domestic-family-violence-help/104706226?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-10/sanctuary-safe-steps-domestic-family-violence-help/104706226?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other</a>

quackademicNeoliberal orthodoxy of ‘privatised is better’ plundered State provision & funneled profits to key players (follow the money) while depriving vulnerable people of the support they need.

Paul SpickerHold the horses: the OBR covers us in manureThe Office for Budget Responsibility has produced an alarming new report about the state of the public finances. They offer projections over 50 years, which seem to suggest that the economy will be faced with a disastrous state of public finance. This is the same process that led the Times in 1894 to write that "in 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure.”  <a href="http://blog.spicker.uk/hold-the-horses-the-obr-covers-us-in-manure/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://blog.spicker.uk/hold-the-horses-the-obr-covers-us-in-manure/</a> <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/SocialPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialPolicy</a>

Mark BurtonIt's a well trialled model in Finland, Portugal, and elsewhere. Not so different from the thinking behind supported living for intellectually disabled people ("learning disabled" people / "people with learning disabilities" in UK) that we've had in Manchester since the 1980s and elsewhere a bit earlier. Same idea; people don't jump hoops to live in ordinary housing.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GreaterManchester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreaterManchester</a>'s ‘housing-first’ scheme to eradicate rough sleeping. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/sep/10/manchester-turns-to-housing-first-scheme-to-eradicate-rough-sleeping" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/sep/10/manchester-turns-to-housing-first-scheme-to-eradicate-rough-sleeping</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HohsingFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HohsingFirst</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SocialPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialPolicy</a>
