APOCALYPSEFUCK is Tony Manero says

Armed, hard-core homeless with nothing left to lose will end their days in weeks-long shoot outs with local cops, happy to have an excuse to bring out the sniper teams and to blow away people without the wherewithal or families to sue them for murder and mayhem.

As much as I enjoy bidding wars, this sort of market-clearing mechanism would get things to a supply-demand equilibrium really fast.

The NAR could lie about the body counts and YoY firezone kills-per-acre, and confidently declare each month of each year to be the best time to buy fortified McMansions with good fire coverage of the homeless trenches. Everybody benefits!
