Just remember: there are over 23 vacant homes per homeless person in the land of the free. 🤢
And the best solution to homelessness is to house people. Does it solve all homelessness? No it doesn’t. Addiction services and mental health services will go even further to solve homelessness.
You will never get 100% of the people off the streets, but there are a few very simple solutions that can drastically reduce the numbers.
Of course, all of that requires raising taxes, so it almost never happens.
Well, that depends who you ask. There are a lot of corporations who count on the penal system’s forced labor. Could you imagine what reduced incarceration of addicts and the unhoused would do to their margins?
What’s nuts is it doesn’t require raising taxes, our government is absurdly bloated and lots of people have strong incentives to keep it that way
Those aren’t houses, they’re investments! /s
More like the land where you’re free to fuck off and die in a gutter.
Barbaric and inexcusable
the best country in the world!
totally a democracy!
If they have over 650k why are they living on the streets?
Damn beat me to it
That’s the number of homeless people, not the amount of money that homeless people have.
Perhaps their comment was just a hint at the general decline in journalistic quality through a subtle reference to a missing comma.
If they all as one dollar to the pot they could buy one house
I’m told that if they didn’t eat avocado toast and put $20 in their savings account every week from the day they turned 18, all of those homeless people could afford houses by now.
Oh boy, 7 grand by the time they’re 25.
Yeah that’ll help
I’m guessing two massive, extremely destructive hurricanes will not help with that.
Unless it blows the homeless people away, obviously
Republican Party: “Is it possible to learn this power?”
Patrick Star:“Just take the homeless people, and push them somewhere else!”
Its the dream!
So terrible to see for US.
