London seems to manage this petty well. I think it’s quite healthy for a city to commingle folk from different income groups rather than house them in specific areas.

Why should the government steal my income to destroy the value of my property by paying to house criminals next door?

The Free Market solves this perfectly - let people own their property and have a stake in where they live and maintaining the community and safety.

We just need to let people build and bring a real free market to property.

How is the government stealing your income or destroying the value of your property? Seems a bit hyperbolic.

And if the free market solves this, why are we in this situation in the first place? Shouldn't the free market have solved this already? Instead we have piles of empty houses/buildings and more homeless than ever before.

The posts you are responding to said "low income", "poor" and "different income groups". The classism required to go from that to "criminals" is very disturbing.

The fact that you assume all of the poor are criminals disqualifies you from having your opinion on this taken seriously.

London has sky high rents for young professionals while also taxing them exorbitant amounts that ends up subsidize social housing for "economically inactive" people. I would not call that efficient.
