if homelessness started going down, then we would have 50 empty homes for every homeless person.

Who cares? Who is upvoting this wacky math?!?

Imagine there’s one homeless person and 27 empty homes. If we put the homeless person in the home, there are zero homeless people and 26 empty homes. And we would have INFINITE empty houses for each homeless persons. What a tragic situation!

The point is not to adjust the ratio but to house people when there are 27 houses available for each person. I can’t believe I have to explain this.
