Homelessness is back, baby! FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR!

And who has been President for the second straight year?

Obama presided over the largest housing foreclosures since the Great Depression and there was no reporting on the homeless.

Go to youtube and search for 'homeless LA', 'homeless Portland', 'homeless San Francisco' etc.

People have been posting videos of the homeless for year only now that we have a booming economy and record unemployment with Trump as our President, the Democratic Media Complex is set to make homelessness a national crisis again because it's 'the narrative' that matters.

Isn’t it weird how the issue of homelessness disappears when a Democrat is in office..........

Hmmm...wonder what has changed in the last two years.
Likewise, what was different the previous 7 years?

re> The small 0.3 percent increase from last year comes as the economy is booming and unemployment is at its lowest point in decades

More proof they corrupt media only talks of things that can hurt POTUS.

Did homelessness rise? Or did vagrancy? They are not the same.

Disappointing that Ben Carson couldn’t get his team to put out more realistic, more honest, and more optimistic numbers. My first suspicion is that this is crooked reporting by Obama holdovers and hate-Trump careerists in HUD.

Who goes around counting the homeless? Could this be an issue of who does the counting rather than how many homeless there are?

I recall a chapter in Bernie Goldberg’s book “Bias” titled “How Bill Clinton Cured Homelessness”.

HAHAHA.

The Rats dust off their old homeless-is-increasing trick.

I guess there is no shortage of gullible fools who won’t slurp up this garbage.

But homelessness for illegal aliens has dropped off, bigtime.

If you chart this, you'll see 8 straight years of declining homelessness, followed by 2 straight years of increasing homelessness. Line looks like a hockey stick.

Keep In mind that homelessness is a lagging indicator. As with most economic indicators, it takes anywhere from months to decades for results to show up.
The only significance of this statistic is that the media chooses to correlate it with the Trump and Obama terms.

It’ll continue to rise simply because of the millennial generation. The majority of them want everything for nothing yet are incapable doing anything. Homelessness is inevitable.

" Homelessness in the U.S. increased in 2018 for the second straight year after being in decline for 7 years previously..."

Absolute lie. How is it we have more than 7 million jobs going unfilled? Homelessness increases mainly in places that make it advantageous like Seattle, SF and Dallas. A good many of those who are included in that number are drug addicts and habitual criminals who live outside of main stream society.

It may be true, but if is then it's because they are using resources on bringing in, harboring, and paying illegal aliens subsidies that Americans do not get.

Unsurprisingly, New York City, and Los Angeles make up 25% of that homeless population. The other factor is large increases in housing costs for those 2 locales. Rent in L.A. has risen 35% since 2012, and NYC 20%. Once you become homeless it becomes very hard to get out of homelessness without help. According to the article at any rate, but they fail to say where the remaining 75% occur, and without a doubt it is in cities that are run by Democrats. We know that to be the case because Democrats control the vast majority of large cities in America.

Mayors of the 50 largest cities in America are controlled by: Democrat: 34 (68%), Republican: 13 (26%), Independent: 3 (6%). Here is a list of those 50 largest cities, their mayors, and the mayor's party affiliation.

Of course! And it’ll keep increasing up to the 2020 election! It’s like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west with these liberals. Year in and year out.

Define "Homeless".

If i'm homeless but living with friends or say a lady on welfare, am I really homeless....or is "homeless" what I put on my welfare application.

Every time a Republican is elected, the homeless numbers miraculously rise.

The homeless rate went down during Obama's administration because they did not count people that had given up looking for a home. Great technique, huh?

Homeless Freeper checking in. I just had (another) heart attack and was lucky to find a shelter where I can stay. I’m stuck in a backwater town in Northern California.
