Rent is too high. Period. Especially in major metropolitan areas across the country.
Everything is expensive. It’s hard to save money and people are literally working to pay bills.
COVID fukked up everything and a lot of people said it would take years for things to go back to pre pandemic levels.
At some point, real estate valuations have to come down. People who bought a house 2 years ago for $350,000, don’t be shocked if it’s only worth $285,000 in 5 years.
And you know the game is rigged. How does commercial real estate values have steadily declined, but residential hasn’t?

Depending on some factors and cutoff points financially, people may not qualify for said resources even if they need it. Let’s not act as if it’s that cut and dry.
The majority of people out here do not want to be out here struggling and homeless.

WASHINGTON — The United States experienced a dramatic 12% increase in homelessness as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans, federal officials said Friday.
About 653,000 people were experiencing homelessness, the highest number since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007 to count the homeless population. The total in the January count represents an increase of about 70,650 homeless people compared to a year earlier.
The latest estimate also indicated that people becoming homeless for the first time were behind much of the increase, and it ended a downward trend in family homelessness that began in 2012.
“This data underscores the urgent need for support for proven solutions and strategies that help people quickly exit homelessness and that prevent homelessness in the first place,” House and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge said in a prepared statement.
The U.S. had been making steady progress until recent years in reducing the homeless population as the government focused particularly on increasing investments to get veterans into housing. The number of homeless people dropped from about 637,000 in 2010 to about 554,000 in 2017.
The numbers ticked up to about 580,000 in the 2020 count and held relatively steady over the next two years as Congress responded to the Covid-19 pandemic with emergency rental assistance, stimulus payments, aid to states and local governments and a temporary eviction moratorium.
Jeff Olivet, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, a federal agency, said the extra assistance “held off the rise in homelessness that we are now seeing,”
“While numerous factors drive homelessness, the most significant causes are the shortage of affordable homes and the high cost of housing that have left many Americans living paycheck to paycheck and one crisis away from homelessness,” Olivet said.
Within the overall rise, homelessness among individuals rose by nearly 11%, among veterans by 7.4% and among families with children by 15.5%.
People who identify as Black make up just 13% of the U.S. population, but comprised 37% of all people experiencing homelessness. And more than a quarter of adults experiencing homelessness were over age 54.

Execution of Louis XVI - Wikipedia
After initially refusing to permit Sanson and his assistants to bind his hands together, Louis XVI relented when Sanson proposed to use his handkerchief instead of rope.[citation needed] The executioner's men cut the former king's hair, removed his shirt's collar, and followed him up the scaffold. Upon the platform, Louis proclaimed his innocence to the crowd and expressed his concern for the future of France.[citation needed] He tried to give an extensive speech, but a drum roll was ordered by Santerre and the resulting noise made his final words difficult to understand.[citation needed]
The executioners fastened him to the guillotine's bench (bascule), positioning his neck beneath the device's yoke (lunette) to hold it in place, and the blade swiftly decapitated him. Sanson grabbed his severed head out of the receptacle into which it fell and exhibited it to the cheering crowd. According to one witness report, the blade did not sever his neck but instead cut through the back of his skull and into his jaw.[1] Some accounts state that members of the crowd rushed towards the scaffold with handkerchiefs to dip them in his blood and keep as souvenirs

It sounds like the article is basically saying after all the covid era programs ended the people that are now homeless got screwed and the number dramatically increased. We really should have the ability to house and feed all people but socialism.

This is true however many aren't even aware of the help available, not to mention mental illness which can make things more difficult.
