    I think it’s more about “these rich people will finally get some little taste of how hard it is to live without a home.”

    Except some of them won’t. Those who are truly wealthy will already have other houses, or be able to buy or rent a temporary home while waiting to rebuild. If they already had empathy they’ll realize how comparably " inconvenient" rather than"desperate" their situation is. The others will whine, and use it as a reason to be even shittier to the homeless.

    There’s a lot of people also who aren’t wealthy, they have just owned a house in the Palisades from way back when it wasn’t so expensive, or lived in the trailer park. They too already have attitudes re homeless people, which may or may not evolve.

    I think anyone who’s unhoused, it’s the result of a disaster, whether a public or private one.
