real GDP has been going up since around 2009 with a dip during COVID. Do you have any data to back up the claim that population adjusted homelessness is getting worse? Why is homelessness the metric to use to establish whether we are in a depression or not? I don't remember the exact numbers, but I know that alcoholism and drug use are significant contributors to homelessness. If population adjusted homelessness is going up, could it be due to other factors?
