    No matter how many times you refer to them as “unhoused” to make yourself feel a little bit morally superior, the homeless literally couldn’t give a single fuck how someone refers to them

    They’d prefer a sandwich or some socks to be honest

      Ehh. I hear you, and definitely.

      But another reason to use to term unhoused is to point to the solution, we need more affordable houses. I work in government and I don’t mind the shift, helps frame the problem a bit better and makes it more of a society problem (something we as a government could do something about) vs an individual problem. Build houses. We can do that as government/society. We could provide housing to vulnerable populations in ways that work for them.
