Is this factually, verifiably true? I figured there would be empty houses (friction etc) but one for every twenty persons sounds like a lot.
The most recent data from the National Alliance to End Homelessness puts the number of homeless people at 552,830. There are more than 17 million vacant homes across the U.S., according to the Census Bureau
Calling that claim “false” is deeply unsatisfying when the actual ratio of empty houses to homeless people is worse than the stated one.
Right? It's false because it's even worse than previously stated. Hopefully people will pick up on that.
it does indeed make one wonder seeing as the 17mil figure is from 2019 and with Everything thats happened since then its bound to have changed
It's almost certainly even worse now.
