Being a geek I can’t help thinking about a Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode where our protagonists time traveled back to San Francisco in 2024 due to a transporter accident.
In that 2024 San Francisco, there are so many homeless people and people without jobs, the city cleared out an entire section to house them, called the Sanctuary.
It’s pretty much a slightly gentler version of the Warsaw ghetto. The homeless had no way out and were only placed there to keep them out of sight. They were largely left to their own devices and to die.
It’s almost 2020. Let’s hope nothing like that ever happens.
