A growing number of Americans are ending up homeless as soaring rents in recent years squeeze their budgets.

According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country’s unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.

    I’m not going to engage with someone with their head so far up their keester they don’t know how to discuss things to make sense.

    That statement/opinion is not intellectually honest.

    You may disagree with the opinions she’s expressing, but she’s expressing them well, and they are worthy of debate/discussion.

      It is absolutely honest. She is in engaging in what ifs and could be. Not what it is. That is intellectually dishonest. And not helpful.
