Some tech bros who want to disrupt things should match up companies that need night security and have huge empty parking lots with those who live in their car and need to park somewhere. (lemmy.world)

People frequently state the statistic about the number of empty houses and apartments versus the number of homeless.

There are 27.4 Empty Homes for Each Homeless Person in the U.S

Well, there's about a million times more empty parking spots versus people living in their car.

Why though? They are already paying very little for security, would they pay less? If so, would it not lower the quality?

If they wanted to rent out (or even let people, out of the goodness of their heart) to use their parking lots they would have.

Imo it won’t work because security is already rather cheap so you’ll just attract people who would want to maybe do some stealing.
