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.

    They’re not asking or working with Democrats, they’re painting them as worse than ‘the rock’ and telling people to abandon the party. Oddly it’s the exact same thing foreign influence operations were doing on reddit in 2015, and Republicans in ~2006… discouraging young voters from voting at all. Huh, wonder who that helps.
