It's called homelessness and the american republicans want you to feel like it's because of lax law enforcement instead of, you know, the median salary in my city not being enough to actually live in the city.
You probably haven't even heard about my city, because it has only 60k ish people and still runs into that problem.
"But but but but zoning and developers can't build cheap housing because they aren't allowed to!". Funny, that didn't stop them from building hundreds of units of assisted living facilities right in some of the most expensive land they could find. Maybe it's because, in a capitalistic system, it's more incentivized to build a structure that can charge the state $12k a month per resident that they neglect than one that can charge each resident $2k a month because they actually have to be able to afford it.
Meanwhile grandma doesn't even know where they are.
