Thinking today about this sentence:
"Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."

Rising housing costs, combined with persistent inflation for basic necessities like gas and food, have left more Americans newly homeless and millions more fearing they’ll soon lose their homes.

BLOOD IN THE WATER is one of the most important works of history of the last decade, and @historianheather.bsky.social's new book looks just as essential. I can't wait to read it.
