I bet someone who has no where to live would still happily live there over nowhere

Okay, and someone that's starving would rather dumpster dive. But we shouldn't be feeding starving people out of a dumpster, just because they'll take it over nothing.

Also, FWIW, I'm pretty far away from a large metro area, and about 20 miles outside of a two traffic light town. Living in any of these abandoned homes would make it very challenging for an unhoused person to find a job, or even get to a grocery store.
