  • I just used the same source out of simplicity, I didn’t double check as that wasn’t my point. It would indeed be better to have more recent numbers.

    Not seeing homeless people doesn’t mean they don’t exist, seems like Japanese streets are mostly devoid of homeless people, but a lot of people seem to be living in cafes, to avoid ending up in jail as as far as I’ve understood, the government has a harsh policy towards that. Might be wrong on japan, but again, I’m not trying to point fingers to a country saying they are bad or good, it’s the argument itself that I find “weak”.

    PS: just to be clear, I do feel that first of all, the OP should be the one trying to prove their saying. Nice of you to try and debunk it though




  • This link does not disprove the point. Home ownership isn’t the same thing, you can have families that rent, they aren’t homeless either.

    Using the same source there is twice as many homeless (relative to population) in china than in spain, for example.

    I’m not trying to prove that the number is high in China, I don’t know what’s the average for all countries. However, claiming that there isn’t a lot of homeless because 90% of the non homeless own their house is wrong.
