Two basic kinds of people, Jib: You have the folks who build things, then you have folks who only know how to break stuff. That issue is as old as humanity.

I don't know how your preferred method of integration would work in practice, though. When similar efforts were tried in the past it simply resulted in everyone who could afford to move, doing so. Urban centers decayed, suburban sprawl became an epidemic, and the original problem ultimately remained. I don't see how to fix that issue in a nation where people have freedom of movement. You can't hold a gun to people's heads and force them to live next door to people they hate, at least not if you want America to remain America.

Government-subsidized housing is probably a band-aid, not a very good one, but better than homelessness. The real long-term solution is policy that promotes local business and on-shore production and generally a promotion of good-paying work. Service sector work doesn't count and should be regarded as societal poison. Maybe take a page out of FDR's book and create a modern day nationwide TVA for that purpose.

I got a million of these sleepy photos.

I really think the best way is to make homes more accessable, realize that when the coasts were vastly un developed just 50 years ago, that they are simply not now, and that supply and demand for homes may not be at the breaking point, but it does have a breaking point.

And if it does, and we're not there, we better start steering the ship in the right direction.

Or another occupy, BLM, january 6th, is right around the corner.

I loaded his images so I could see what you were complaining about. If anything he unintentionally makes Japan look pretty good. He's actively trying to cherry-pick stuff to make it look bad and the worst he finds are some passed-out drunks. Meanwhile stateside plenty of urban neighborhoods are full of ruined and decaying buildings and infrastructure, boarded-up houses shot full of bullet holes, trash and filth everywhere, and other far more serious problems. His pictures don't seem particularly objectionable.
