    unhoused? say what it actually is. homelessness. news sites need to stop promoting the stupid euphemism treadmill, it doesn’t help anyone but themselves.

      Nope, it’s unhoused now! I can’t wait for 20 years from now when “unhoused” is suddenly considered an insult because reasons and we yet again need to invent another stupid word to refer to this. Houselessness, maybe?

      Yes, just call it what it is: homelessness. There is nothing wrong with the word, it’s not insulting anyone, it just says what it is.
