- fnordpiglet 3y agoI’m sorry I think you misunderstood me. When I talked about visible / invisible and the iceberg of homelessness I referred to this exactly. However the issue in the discussion here is visible homelessness - the stuff that frightens people away from the downtowns of the west coast. Indeed the vast majority of homelessness happens away from your view and is no less tragic.
