Both. It's both. It's gives them somewhere to go, but it also highlights just how fucked up things really are.

Exactly, it's great that they do it, it's awful that it's needed in the first place

little of column A and a little of column B. I hate this but we are going to need many things like this until things an be run at least in a half assed manner.

Once again schools take up the slack as best they can despite lack of funding

Living in your car will become the norm in the near future.

They can't make houses cheaper, after all. That would hurt the bankers and mortgage companies and property investors.
Purchasing an actual house is out of reach for the bottom 90% of young Americans. And they can't lower housing prices because it'll make rich people less rich. And they can't increase wages because it'll make rich people less rich.
So they define the American Dream downwards.
A young adult today can buy an RV for the same price, adjusted for inflation, as their parents spent to buy a house. And that'll be the new aspiration. Buy an RV, rent a parking space, and start a family.
And the conservatives wonder why people aren't having kids these days.
