    Ok so the estimate for number of people sleeping on the streets or subways every night is around 4,140 from a federally mandated survey from July of this year

    damn if only the wealthiest city on earth had the money to house an additional 4,140 people but alas it’s impossible. That’s almost like two blocks of housing, can you imagine it

      I don’t know about New York, but Chicago has over 300,000 vacant homes.

      Gosh, where would we find room for 4,140 people? It’s impossible. 🫠
