The property owner in question has evaded paying billions of dollars in taxes, taxes that could have gone to fix the systemic issues in America that perpetuate homelessness.

Think different indeed.

But Apple does it legally so its ok. And I am sure the hopeless can pull themselves by their bootstraps. If they cant eat bread, why don't they eat cake?? If you are homeless just buy a house! Its that simple. /s

Jezz, I am reading through the comments here and i am not sure if i am on HN or subreddit for edy teens with the shallowest and one-dimentional view of the world.

I do like how we think owning property is like a natural right that just exists.

Apple only owns that property because our social contract says they can, that social contract can be broken if we feel like they're abusing that "right".

Some people having millions of times more than they could possibky need while these people don't have the basics is the cause of the problem.

Property owners are human members of society

They’re not above participating in solving human problems

You want to live in a bubble, go off grid

None of us get up and contribute to society to spare anyone else dealing with it’s problems

Just because that’s the way laws are written doesn’t mean biology gives a shit
