004n063 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Could also be that there's a halfway house right there. I know for where I live in Midtown, the homeless services centers are all clustered fairly close together (for obvious reasons), which definitely leads to a more noticeable presence. It's not really an issue for me or my neighbors (as far as I'm aware), though - just sad and frustrating to see. And probably makes walking at night uncomfortable for people on the slighter side.

skooljunkie Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sure rising rents can increase homelessness if a large geographic area is affected with little new affordable housing making up for it, but there’s without a doubt a lot more at play: the overall economy, macro/micro employment trends, the ability/inability of a metro area to house people in need, substance abuse trends, etc. And as someone mentioned, certain neighborhoods can be affected moreso when shelters, etc. are nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
