9. For shelter?

You think someone proposing that human beings live in a toilet 'could be on to something'?

I feel like I'm in bizarro land.

How about HOUSES and APARTMENTS for the homeless. Like, actual HOMES? There is much more empty housing in this country than there are homeless people. To think that somehow porta potties could be a dwelling is fucking nuts.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm mad, I'm not, I just feel like maybe you should have thought about this longer before posting it, because it is downright offensive.
