Rents over the last two decades have risen much faster than employee pay, contributing to an escalating homelessness crisis in the U.S.

A growing number of Americans are ending up homeless as soaring rents in recent years squeeze their budgets.

According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country’s unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.

      So you’re hostile to outsiders and blindly support Blue Leader no matter what?

      Remember, I never told anyone how to vote. If someone wants to vote for Biden that is their business and I completely understand it. You, on the other hand, attack anyone who even criticizes Biden.

      Sounds like I’m not the one in a cult. Good luck Blue MAGA
