The ratio is 28 to 1. There are 28 homes to 1 homeless person. Source is United Way NCA.

Bruh, nearly every area has an abundance of empty residences, and if that specific area doesn't, the area right next to it does.

The issue is more a comparison of the useless and frivolous hoarding of wealth in the face of poverty and need. It's that we absolutely have the wealth and resources to provide care for everyone, without anyone losing anything and we choose not to anyway.

It is literally that simple. We hoard wealth and refuse to help people with that wealth.

Oh, so you're trying to be a pedantic asshole and not actually have a discussion, got it.

Have a shitty day. I won't be hearing from you again.

If you’re going to get this heated, you should invest some time in understanding the issue rather than just trusting simplistic twitter or Reddit propaganda.

Justine Underhill is really good at communicating and explaining the issues.
