18%. 18 fucing %. For the love of god that's 1/5 of your bloody nation, wtf?
Edit: Nvm, tired and can't read for shit.
It went up BY 18%, not up TO 18%. This says nothing about how bad it is, only that it's getting worse.
It went up TO 0.23%.
Yeah, I...yeah, thanks. Way to go for me, eh? xD
XD
Oh just give it say I dunno 4 years or so we'll be there soon enough and you can unedit the post...
That's what I thought! Like what?! Isn't that like 60m people? Unless homelessness is up by 18% from the original percentage. Either way it's definitely millions of people... Just maybe not 60m.... ??
About one million by these estimates, but given there's not a reliable way to measure homeless, it's much higher.
