650k people are homeless. Has nothing to do w housing market or salary.

“Data collected and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal from more than 250 homeless organizations have counted at least 550,000 homeless people so far, a 10 percent rise from last year’s reports. The numbers gathered from cities and rural areas show homelessness as it was on a single night earlier this year.

The upward trend means that the US will probably reach and pass the 2023 estimate of 653,000 homeless people. It’s the highest number since the government began sharing such data in 2007.”

I was confused by the title at first too. It should probably be “US is on track to set a new record for homelessness with over 650K people living on the streets”.
