Building this will increase homelessness as more people will migrate here. This is not a solution. Instead it is better to give housing near farms and other areas that need unskilled labor. Why not build more schools and libraries there instead? It’s a shame that we neglect our future generations at the cost of housing the homeless. There has to be set ratio on how much commercial vs housing a township can have. Endlessly building office space will make all of our lives more difficult.

I am with you on farms and even food industry jobs. It’s short time to train them. I have worked with juvenile girls from half way homes. Working in the orchards and gardening is therapeutic and fills a labour deficit. With more automation and tech, it can also become less physically demanding. It can be a skill based job rather than manual jobs. My goal to automate farming: If you know how to use a smart phone, you can farm.
