It's true but misses a broader picture. There are only ~0.5M homeless people in the US [1], or 0.1% of the population. What fraction of Bangladesh lives in that state? Being from the Indian subcontinent and having traveled extensively around the globe, I assure you that that is a much higher fraction and that the quality of life in the US is far far superior than what you'd find in a lot of third world countries.
