    There is a practical point where society basically needs to let people somewhat ethically live out their lives in a contained fashion where they cannot harm others but no more than that.

And wouldn't the world be a simpler place if we all agreed where that point is?

Regardless of what the "sustainable" price is, cost reduction was the proximate cause of the increase in American homelessness from the '70s onward. As far as "a gallows and 6 feet of dirt" is concerned, the civilized world resoundingly condemns your approach.
