Hmm, this statement has me concerned: "you pretty much just choose the one you want and they toss you the keys, nothing else."
Does that mean there are no homeless Betas? I suppose it's easy and good to solve the problem of homelessness simply because it would be easy for Omegas to achieve such a feat, especially for Betas. However, if everything is handed to Betas, what is there to work for? What incentive? Do beta's just become pets, unable to care for themselves? Lucy means well, but her first instincts are to bring Neil to her house (dollhouse?) and fight Neil's fight for him.
Realistically, Omegas, in their exalted wisdom, should put an end to this mixed soceity and section Betas off into their own land. Relations between Alphas and Betas causes more harm than good.
Of course, if that happened, readers (including myself) would lose interest due to the lack of giantess interaction. So we're glad that isn't the case in this world. But separating Betas and Alphas is what *should* happen...if we're being realistic.
There probably are still some homeless Betas around, but the free apartments thing is an attempt to eliminate that issue eventually. The incentive is for basically everything else; the Omegas don't just hand out the food and other amenities required. They're just trying to give a boost so the Betas have a good starting point for autonomy. Lucy is just planning on putting Neil in his own little bed in her room, not a dollhouse. There actually are areas around the world where the races aren't quite as mixed. This particular city where all of the current stories take place just happens to be promoting it the most as the current epicenter for the Omegas. I think everything I just said is accurate, though I would as usual defer to Ackbar for universe-related queries like this.

Lucy is a good girl but a bit impluvive. Confront Neil's bad parents specially you're blind and you've a beta guy on your shoulder = not a very idea.
Author's Response:
You're right that Lucy is acting more on anger instead of thinking this through. Neil will have to try to make her see this before things go bad.

I like the take on the family, not the usual obviously abusive, but clearly cold and unloving. Kicked him out the second it was legal to do so. Hope Lucy kicks their asses.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing. This family is meant to represent a common mindset of mixed families in the Omega world; even if they don't physically abuse their Beta, there's still a lot of problems.
