Homeless people freezing to death in Silicon Valley is a national scandal. This, the richest area in the United States, is also the location of the largest homeless encampment in the country. Silicon Valley corporations make about $100 billion a year in profits, while recent estimates show it would cost only $4 billion to ensure safe, decent housing for every man, woman, and child who lives in Silicon Valley. The people cannot end homelessness because we live under an economic system where a handful of people own the means of producing the basic necessities of life. An economic system that doesn’t feed, clothe, and house its people must be and will be overturned, and replaced with one that meets their needs.
