    The most recent data from the National Alliance to End Homelessness puts the number of homeless people at 552,830. There are more than 17 million vacant homes across the U.S., according to the Census Bureau

        Right? It’s false because it’s even worse than previously stated. Hopefully people will pick up on that.

          it does indeed make one wonder seeing as the 17mil figure is from 2019 and with Everything thats happened since then its bound to have changed

            It’s almost certainly even worse now.

      But that site indicates not all 17 million are owned by banks.

      Many of the vacant housing units on the market are homes that have been foreclosed and are now owned by banks, according to Business Insider.

      The BI claim corroborates the theory that it’s not 100%:

      A large chunk of the current vacant housing stock is made up of homes that were foreclosed upon, meaning they’re now owned by banks.

      I mean, memes don’t have to be 100% accurate, either. I don’t want to overhype a small distinction. The underlying idea is perfectly sound.

        This exhausts me…

        The meme says “banks and corporations.”

        I don’t want to overhype a small distinction

        Yet, you did. Inaccurately, at that.

        Take a break and come back when you can read before responding.
