The pompous CZARS of Housing in Rhode Island just cannot think outside the box of capitalism

The state bureaucrats , appointed CZAR of Housing in Rhode Island and other pompous titles , just cannot think outside the box of landlord -capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. To be sure , the RIGHT to be homeless is itself ludicrous . Like health care having a healthy , decent home - whatever your character flaws ! - should also be perceived as a basic human right. The never mentioned task of the state bureaucrats is not to solve the homeless problem. ( They know with sufficient cynicism ) THAT is impossible in CAPITALIST America . Their job is to ameliorate homelessness , make it less visible , less embarrassing to the ruling class. They must , in effect , quarantine the homeless people in Rhode Island. They must prevent them from encroaching on sacrosanct PRIVATE PROPERTY . As if there is not enough empty , unused real estate all around us. Apart from the propertied class the American military could immediately house the homeless, accommodate them, in numerous barracks around the country. Also, many of the homeless are forever beyond adjusting to the struggle for existence in a competitive capitalist culture. The deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill decades ago was a colossal failure and indeed a crime against humanity . My dear bureaucrats - you just have to think outside the madhouse box of capitalism . ( And quickly lose your job ! ) .
