Ok /biz/, I have an idea.

>buy a bunch of land, maybe 1000 sq acres or so
>build self humble cottage thing to live in for the time being
>purchase lots of tools and food supplies
>rent cargo van
>go to downtown in the closest big city
>tell homeless people you have work for them in exchange for food
>they hop in
>drive them to your land
>give them axes, hoes, and other necessary tools
>instruct them what land to clear and make fields on
>give them seeds and other stuff to grow
>instruct them to make their own shelters with surrounding trees using the tools provided
>they built themselves sturdy cabins, much much better than living in the streets
>feed them with preserved food supply until crops are grown
>first harvest is large enough to feed everyone with leftovers to sell
>homeless people are now tenants who work the land in exchange for housing and food
>free to leave any time they want to because there are always more homeless people in the streets to pick up
>with profits made can expand on cottage and buy more stuff in general to further self
>buy more land, eventually have sprawling legal serf manor

This would work, and for what I can see it’s totally legal. You could have a contract so it’s more legitimate.

It teaches homeless people skills which they can use, gives them housing, if primitive, and makes sure they never go hungry.

What do you say, /biz/?

Homeless people dont want to work. They will probably just kill op

This could also be expanded to include animal husbandry, craftsmanship (metallurgy, carpentry, etc.) and other self-sustaining industries that can later become marketable.

>teaches homeless people skills
Most of them are there because they're lazy or disabled and broke without a license to get disability, that or mentally unstable. Good luck finding the minority that just need a job and to learn a trade.

>> No.9238913

For all of you saying they aren’t mentally capable of this type of labor:

These are the most mind-numbing tasks imaginable. It would be remarkably easy for even the most brain dead junkie to swing an axe or hoe.

Even the small minority of “capable” homeless would be enough to staff a farm like this.

I mean, homeless people do work a lot of the time. Most of them are more than willing to work for food, and I bet that even more would be willing to be a neoserf given their current condition.

Not usually. It’s about a third.

I’d of course do a procedure to determine who gets to stay and live there, but there would definitely be enough mentally-sound-but-unemployed homeless people to fill the niche.

it's not that the tasks are hard. It's that they are tasks. Homeless people don't do tasks.

Op this wont work. Reference wild country on netflix. They brought in homeless people to their commune and they just caused problems.

Good luck with your utopia anon. Don't forget to build a cantina stocked with heroin, crack and Meth.

Homeless people are homeless because they live where the drugs are sold.
