[quote=Anonymous]To me, it's the difference between being (1) a crazy person/drug addict and living on a park bench or under a bridge in a tent ("homeless") and (2) losing your job, sleeping in your car, and bouncing between friends/relatives homes ("unhoused") It's actually a really important distinction and I think it deserves differing terms. People in situation #2 can and do end up back in a permanent home and with a job. #1 and #2 require way different levels of resources and solution. #2 is a more recent widespread phenomena as we real estate prices go into the stratosphere. PS - what's up with all the people in this thread angry about the modern evolution of the English language?!?! Unclench, people. This is the history of language in action.[/quote]
