So? Let it.
If people need shelter, it's a shame we are building a ballroom instead of shelter.

That wouldn't be an issue if we also provided shelter to the most distressed people in our society. As if we don't have the technology to build housing on the cheap. Our lack of communal will to help fellow people is a real shame.
