I try to be sympathetic to these kind of tweets nowadays because they contain an important grain of truth (homelessness is a policy choice)—but no, we genuinely don’t have enough homes, which is clear when you look at the 10s of millions of people who can’t afford to live away from roommates/parents
There are 16 million vacant homes in the US & less than 1 million people without homes.
Pundits keep saying we need to build more housing when what we need to do is confiscate homes & apartments kept vacant by landlords & mega-corporations for short-stay rentals & artificial price manipulation.
