    There are 15 million vacant homes in the US. Some of that will be simply due to homes briefly being between tenants or owner-occupants but even if that would account for the vast majority of vacant homes it still leaves enough to house everyone and then some.

    And ofc instead of actually treating the problem, hostility towards the homeless is only increasing.
