>It feels like blatant disregard for a starving population.
Seems we in the US get our attitude toward the homeless from the brits as well. People like to say we have a problem with it, but there is something unique going on in the UK. Some mind boggling numbers I recently noticed:
UK: 67m population, 300k homeless
US: 330m population, 600k homeless
I guess it could come down to reporting who is "homeless", but still mindblowing that the UK is in such a dire state.
- Fluorescence 3y agoYou are comparing different definitions of homelessness. The US figure is more like the UK's definition of "rough sleeper" which was around 2-3000 in 2020.
