Opinion | America Is Pushing Its Workers Into Homelessness The working homeless are casualties of our prosperity.

America's workers are not "falling" into homelessness.

They're being pushed.

When our systems fail. Housing instability and homelessness should never be the cause of family separation.

Would be really curious to compare this data to Tennessee's.

We have to do better.

Everyone seems to disagree with me about this, but *everything* the media does—what to cover, what not to cover, how to frame a headline, etc.—is an editorial choice. There is no such thing as “neutrality,” and even if there were, covering something purely “neutrally” is an editorial choice, too.

Sepulveda lists the districts with more renters than homeowners:
21, 17, 32, 5, 9, 13, 30, and 2.

She says every district has a lot of renters. "Renters are important, and they are also voters. Homeowners are not the only people that need to be heard."

A staggering statistic: Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a *9 percent* increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

The math of our housing crisis is brutally clear.

Had a few Fox Sparrows here in Nashville this week but no snow yet, so pulled a couple for a couple years back.

Excited to join a cohort of folks from Nashville to dig in and do some planning on ending homelessness in our city.

In Minneapolis for the Built for Zero Learning Sessions. Taking the light rail for $2 vs a $30 Lyft ride. @freddieoconnell.bsky.social #ChooseHowYouMove is the next step towards these options. #EndingHomelessnessIsPossible So is quality transit.
Transit 🤝 Housing 🤝 an Equitable Nashville.

Nashville resident of 16 years. Currently in Donelson, D13. Work in ending homelessness in Nashville, especially for families. You can also find me birding at a local park near you. Glad to be here. 🦞
