Now we need a genius architect to convert all of that office space into homes for the homeless. That includes changing any laws that would prevent that from happening.

    Converting an office building to apartments isn’t as easy as you think. For example, apartments need firewalls between them, and adding them ain’t cheap.

    Might be easier to rezone and demolish, but the timelines on that are huge and there’s already a labor shortage in the construction industry.

    We’ve painted ourselves into a lot of corners as a nation.

    There's no superhero coming to save you. Bother your local city council yourself, or at least donate to groups who will.

    Well, I don't need saving, but others do. There is no such thing as a superhero but I agree...there is lots of bureaucracy and administration! Going through proper channels while the world burns is not something I put a whole lot of faith in when the first knee-jerk response to anything is the economic cost. Sometimes the people have to get involved, not the systems (which are decidedly lacking nowadays).
