> It's no longer 1930s, where "normal" people could genuinely be homeless because of economic difficulties.

We're getting back there. With the added problem of cheap fentanyl easily available. The amount of young people I've seen on the streets has skyrocketed, not to mention refugees on the corners begging. This is Chicago. And lots of young people, especially those not lucky enough to be in the laptop class- are just a few paychecks from homelessness. It will be even worse this winter when cost of living goes up and you can't afford to live while working.



Most people across the world are a couple paychecks from homelessness. It's nothing special.
