Rents over the last two decades have risen much faster than employee pay, contributing to an escalating homelessness crisis in the U.S.

A growing number of Americans are ending up homeless as soaring rents in recent years squeeze their budgets.

According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country’s unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.

    A cult of what? I’m just criticizing Biden! You seem to think the president is powerless and nothing that has gone wrong is his fault.

    Is there literally anything you would criticize him for?

        So you’re hostile to outsiders and blindly support Blue Leader no matter what?

        Remember, I never told anyone how to vote. If someone wants to vote for Biden that is their business and I completely understand it. You, on the other hand, attack anyone who even criticizes Biden.

        Sounds like I’m not the one in a cult. Good luck Blue MAGA

          No. I’m not going to engage with someone with their head so far up their keester they don’t know how to discuss things to make sense. You never make any points other than pure speculation and are actively trying to muddy the water because you support Trump and don’t want to admit it. Your whole account is soley to bolster votes for your cult.

          So keep doing it. And I’ll keep not caring. And neither will all the other people that are lurking and reading how little sense you make with what ifs and could haves.

            That statement/opinion is not intellectually honest.

            You may disagree with the opinions she’s expressing, but she’s expressing them well, and they are worthy of debate/discussion.

              It is absolutely honest. She is in engaging in what ifs and could be. Not what it is. That is intellectually dishonest. And not helpful.

            She ain’t supporting Trump. Biden is a piece of shit and neither do I but it is what it is. Sure I’ll take Biden over Trump easily but the lesser of two evil is still fucking evil. Let’s go Cthulhu and just be done with it all. IA! Fthagn!

            You, however, are a fighter fighting everyone you can to lose. You will. You will be homeless shortly herein after.
