I’ll asume y’all are stupid and privileged and not just cruel. Home can be a public shelter, it is about people. A house is a thing you rent or own.

Not everything is politics, virtue signaling or about you. We use different words because language changes, because society changes. That is why you don’t speak Anglo-Saxon anymore.

It’s about precision. The condition people are talking about is not having a house, regardless of whether they have a home. This is why unhoused is being used more often.

It’s not part of an agenda, it is not about you. Grow up.

Of course! Relax. It’s more precise to be clear they’re talking about people unhoused.

It’s not precise. A shelter is just that: shelter, not a home. An apartment can be a home, but is not a house.
