@bob @newsbot @DoomsdaysCW ahh

Here’s the „There are 15 counties in California whose total populations are smaller than the homeless population of L.A. County, which exceeded 75,000 people in 2023. If you filled Dodger Stadium with all the county’s homeless people, you’d have enough left over to fill Crypto.com Arena downtown.“

@bob @newsbot @DoomsdaysCW thanks for the help. I wanted to double check the context, 771k homeless?

I went to the HUD website. It seems they will be releasing the PIT data. I know a lot of states collected it, including #Maine, @bob .

So, 771,000 was the number reported in 2025 for 2024. "In 2024, there were approximately 771,400 homeless individuals in the country,"

I'm sure the 2025 numbers will be way higher, @bob -- unfortunately...

Considering we aren't seeing numbers from January 2025, or 2026, I'd say you are right, @bob ! They are hiding the numbers!

I know a few sources for the state PIT numbers. That's all we have to go on. @bob @EVDHmn @newsbot

*If* I have the spoons, I'll start compiling a spreadsheet with the states that have reported for 2025 and 2026, @bob . No guarantees, but now it's bugging the shit out of me that those aren't being compiled! @EVDHmn @newsbot
