      Isn’t this a bit !orphancrushing@lemmy.world?

      All kids in London get free bus travel and also free tube until I think age 10. I’m surprised other cities aren’t already doing it. Also if governments didn’t keep selling off council homes, people wouldn’t spend years stuck in temporary accommodation.

    Good.

    I’d rather things were done at a true national level, holistically with many other things, bringing in the systemic change we so desperately need to solve homelessness and beyond, but I suppose life has taught me that that will never happen.

    So, if my city can at least do one small thing to help one small group for a few years, good.
