A nextbigfuture reader had a comment about which US cities had the most homelessness and whether the mayor is democrat or republican.
I have used US Housing and Urban Development statistics and the wikipedia entries for each city for their mayor and party affiliation.
Texas’ homeless population shrunk by nearly a third over the past decade, while California’s grew by 43%, according to the federally mandated point-in-time count. And in the Golden State, 439 people are homeless for every 100,000 residents – compared to 81 in the Lone Star State.
California Governor Gavin Newsom was Mayor of San Francisco in 2008. He promised to eliminate homelessness within ten years. This did not happen.
Unsheltered homelessness refers to situations in which individuals are not regularly accessing shel- ters or transitional housing programs and are instead often sleeping in encampments, under underpasses, in their vehicles, or other locations not meant for human habitation. California also had the highest rate of unsheltered people at 70.4% (113,660 were unsheltered). More than half of all unsheltered people in the country were in California (51%).
