      Classic whataboutism.

      In 2022, there were about 582,462 homeless people living in the United States, compared to 580,466 in 2020. Within the provided time period, the highest number of homeless people living in the United States was in 2007, at 647,258.

      What good is having housing if you don’t have a job to pay rent?

      Plenty of jobs don’t require a stable address. It’s a small ask to provide a PO box for homeless people.

        Unless I’m mistaken, employers specifically avoid employing homeless people, and having a PO box instead of a street address is a pretty strong clue that you’re homeless.

          True, but fixing that is way easier than somehow housing all the homeless people

          you’re mistaken. I’ve had a PO box for 30+ years and maybe 5 different employers in that time period. Admittedly anecdotal but I’ve never had an employer ask me about the PO box.

            I wouldn’t expect them to ask you. I’d expect them to ghost you. Interesting to see it isn’t always that way.
