Comment on There are 27 Empty Homes for Every Homeless Person
mozz@mbin.grits.dev 2 months agothat there are 27 empty houses for each homeless person
And my point is that that doesn't tell you a thing about whether there is or isn't a problem.
It happens that, in the US, there is a problem (way too many homeless people and way too many empty houses), but computing the ratio of those two bad things is inherently a pointless activity. That's my point.

See, I figured the point wasn’t so much computing the ratio, but the simple idea that homeless people and empty homes shouldn’t co-exist.
