Homelessness hits its highest reported level as rents soar and pandemic aid lapses, U.S. says

[Paper Boi]

If not one percent of people are homeless.. I gotta lean towards It mostly being mental health or drugs.. the people that are homeless from just being jobless must be nearly inexistent

this is factually untrue

You don't have any facts. You perpetually use emotion to voice your opinion on here, and that's fine. I 100% think that you care about issues.

 

[I Really Mean It]

So 350 million people in America and only 650000 homeless.. not bad

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

this statistic is staggering. our community is in shambles.

Extremely damning shyt

you wouldn’t know it looking at instagram.

That's 0.0018571429 of the population... What exactly is confusing about that.. it's quite delusional to think nobody would be homeless

 

[Wild self]

a reckoning is coming

if you own rental properties, i'd sell them.

@Wild self

Chop off the hands of price gpugers.

When you include people who don't necessarily live in the streets, but wound up having to stay with someone because they lost their place, the homeless number goes up.

The number isn't accurate. Lots of people sleeping in cars who don't aren't counted

Goes way up. Knew so many 20 somethings living like that when I was in my 20s

When you include people who don't necessarily live in the streets, but wound up having to stay with someone because they lost their place, the homeless number goes up.

or people who still live at home because housing is so expensive.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

You can't forget people with jobs but living in their cars,cheap motels and such

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

But look at how the NASDAQ is doing! That's the real measure of the "economy"

 

[NinoBrown]

no one should be homeless in this country, especially due to cost of living.

some people make choices to live on the streets due to mental health problems or safety issues at shelters, but a significant portion of those people are not making a choice due to a mental health issue. they are being priced out. that's disgusting when there is plenty of housing to go around, a lot of it just sits vacant.

Not a six-cert gang problem...get those certs up...

And unfortunately there must be cogs at the bottom of the machine for us to move forward, we aren't communists...
