that fact that we more empty homes degrading from abandonment into nothingness in this country than homeless people is surest sign that we have terrible system.
Not sure which country you're referring to.
there are more vacant homes that homeless people in my country and that fact is so incendiary to our sensibilities that it enshitifies things like google so; when you look up this fact; all of the results are going to lead you to explanations as to why it's misleading and that there aren't enough "appropriate" homes for homeless people.
all of the articles are hoping couch the unspoken classism divisions as "nuanced arguments" so when they say that there aren't enough "appropriate" homes for homeless people; it's dog-whistle-implying that homeless people don't deserve the same desirable homes that can earn profit for the capitalists and that it's the state's responsibility to "deal" with them; amongst other dog whistles.
