Freak Typhoons have wrecked havoc in @@REGION@@, leaving its cities in shambles. This, along with its traditionally robust growth in population, @@NAME@@ has found its self in the middle of a housing shortage of epic proprtions.



1. "We're ready, willing, and able to serve @@Name@@ in this time of crisis," says Chief Contractor Lobbyist @@Random Name@@ , "All we ask is generous government aid for our efforts."

2. "Ha!" Exclaims @@RANDOM NAME@@, Minster of the Interior. "Even the common @@ANIMAL@@ would know that corporations are slow at best and downright corrupt at worst. The solutions is simple; government itself should not only build Housing Projects for its citizen, but encourage them move in too. Not only will this solve the problem it will make it easier for us to keep tabs on any no-good malcontents."

3. "People shouldn't have to sleep in their cars," cries Inner City Advocate @@RANDOM NAME@@, "And the government shouldn't have to spend millions of @@CURRENCY@@ on the construction of a civil right's nightmare!" Rather, a nation wide system of rent controls should be instituted to keep affordable housing open for all citizens

For a fourth option, you should put something about moving into space. That'd be funny. Issues with slight humor get through.

Maybe having the corporate idea be more along the lines of them providing housing to those affected only if they are allowed special provisions making those who take them up on the housing offer veritable slaves to the corporation. I'm thinking indentured servitude.

Or a military slant, simply draft those who have lost their homes into the military. They can live in barracks, lol.

Personally, I don't see enough options to flex the psychotic dictator part of ourselves. Executing the homeless would be the cheapest option, heh heh.

Nanakaland: All the new issues seem to have there choices only, so that's why I put down three. I did have a fourth one in mind that went like this:


"Religious Zealot @@RANDOM NAME@@ has a different take on the matter: "It's clear these typhoons are the work of an angry God." Instead of building more housing that he could just sweep away, @@NAME@@ needs to build an golden @@ANIMAL@@ Idol to appease and atone for our wicked ways. It's the only way!"

Ekscalybur: I was going for you're "psychotic dictator part" in choice number three. Singapore is a good example of this, although the Government Housing is nice, people have to void out most of their civil rights in order to rent. The language is moderate because its not an issue for a downright evil country or else the other two potions wouldn't make sense.

How about an option where you all go to live in monasteries?

I like this one.

I like this one.


Mine?

I like this one.


Mine? 8)

I like it. Or how about keeping the money, and letting the people die.

The one with the supreme court nomination has 5. You can have up to 5.

I just got #68, so this is really all moot.
