Homeless people are not the only people who need homes.
There are millions of people who’d like to move out of their parents’ homes, ditch their roommates, leave their abusive partners, or move to a different city but can’t because housing scarcity makes rent too expensive where they want to live.

1 million
Bwahahahahaha
The US census bureau says 16 million or approximately 28 homes per unhoused person.
I'll send you the links

good of example of the way that Gen Ai harms art is not through really replacing capital a Art but by replacing human slop with robo slop, and the dirty secret is that slop pays the bills and subsidizes actually good art.

Mitt Romney actively sought Donald Trump's endorsement in 2012 and made Birther jokes in his stump speech but yeah sure Mitt was a victim
Not only does nobody believe this about mistreatment of Mitt Romney, but the Obama 12 campaign went *easier* on him than some of the whisper campaigns in the primaries. We said he was an out of touch rich guy who profited from shipping jobs overseas (true!), we didn't do whisper anti-mormon stuff.
but... but... but shitting on dems all the time no matter what is cool and fun and gets you clout and IN NO WAY fostered voter apathy among left leaning folks that got trump into office again...

Another remarkably superficial piece on one of the more extensively studied questions in urban economics. "Getting CDC recommend vaccines alone does not guarantee health." It's not sufficient, but it's necessary, and publishing a lot of context free stuff about its insufficiency will only do harm.
