I distrust toots that assert something without providing a link
I was lucky and found a link to the 31K figure; sounds partially like it does NOT apply to all homeless people, just some small percentage, so probably a bullshit number

If YIMBYs are in favor of turning parks into asphalt, then YIMBYs are bad

but terms and conditions apply; what I said is certainly true for NYC or Chicago, maybe not Bloomington

but in general the willingness of YIMBYs to pave over grass is IMO really bad IMO
