If it was on the ballot, Would you vote to convert all the golf courses into free housing?

No because “free” actually means TAX PAYER FUNDED
Don’t need government extorting anymore money from me!

@Ozuye502 So how many golf courses do you own as a taxpayer?
SW-User
@Ozuye502 Correct. There is no such thing as freebies from the government. The middle class always pays.

@whowasthatmaskedman I know of 3 in my county but probably it’s more

Free housing = slums. Of course not.

Why should people have FREE Housing?

Are you saying all people on welfare should have free housing

@nedkelly anybody who wants it should. Lots of spending power left for other things!
@nedkelly Why should Corporations get Corporate Welfare, trillions in tax breaks?

No. It's private property being used for paying customers.
Stopmakingsense · 61-69, F
@Lukeman but please pay the cops to use bull dozers when we build. It's taxpayers funding homelessness the way you would like!
Lukeman · M
@Stopmakingsense The government has no right to use private land for social programs. The government would have to offer the owner enough money so they would want to sell it first. I would refuse them unless they offered more than the land was worth to me.

Not all and not free. People do need to contribute to value things and cities need public parks. Once you fill in those holes in the lawn..

Absolutely 100%

There'd be no Tiger Woods, and opportunity for others, which then would just cause more poor and homeless people. I think there's plenty of vacant lot already to put free housing.
@whowasthatmaskedman Let them have to get real jobs & see how the other half lives. I have a sh*tty job landscaping, but I I made my bills for the month with $2 left in my checking account.

@SW-User I dont think I have an answer. But I cant help but think of the Roman empire, where to take the minds of the people away from the serious issues of the day, Caesar ordered Bread and Circuses at the Coliseum. Now we have the government Printing money and Professional sport 24/7.

@DropTopDig I wont judge for any other nation. But I know that half the football and Cricket players in my country. Would be in jail or doing community service in between mowing lawns for a living if they weren't paid to throw or kick a ball.
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
Absolutely not!!
Yes, golf courses are the biggest waste of land there is. If you want to play golf, play putt-putt. Golf is a waste of time and money & most players suck.
SW-User
@DropTopDig how is that fair? isn’t that kind of arbitrary? why don’t we just get rid of tennis courts
@SW-User Better used as farmland.
SW-User
@DropTopDig then developers or various levels of farmland are welcome to expropriate it via eminent domain and pay fair market value for the land lol
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
Yes I’d go for thst
Probably all on public lands it might be done, but privately owned probably not.
Where would future presidents golf? The WH lawn?
SW-User
No .. I love golf .. kill! Kill! Kill!

@SW-User Fore!!!!!!!!!!
[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OT3XbFWbtY]
but there are no houses there??!!
Stopmakingsense · 61-69, F
@Elevatorpitches it's not hard to let them appear! The cops need bull dozers to keep up with the homeless who build.
It might be nice to include some high rises, too.
@Stopmakingsense Then theres always MINECRAFT...
Right?
Stopmakingsense · 61-69, F
@Elevatorpitches is that a building game?
