What are the homelessness rates between Germany and the US? Germany has good publicly funded medical care, schools, and housing. It may well be that lack of US investment in the same is in large part responsible for the I suspect huge differences between the two.
You can look at Germany and say “they didn’t completely solve the problem so we shouldn’t try anything they are doing” or you can recognize the huge strides their efforts have made towards this complex issue, and consider how we might do the same.
- constantcrying 2y agoI was extremely surprised looking at the numbers. Apparently Germany has more homelessness people than the US in absolute terms. Which is around 4 times the prevalence in relative terms. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Germany https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Germany And: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_S... the statistics section I don't know whether I am just comparing the wrong numbers or whether they count differently. But apparently Germany has much, much more homeless people. Even the amount of sheltered people, is roughly the same in absolute terms.
