No, because I remember some politician saying something along those lines of us having the lowest number of homeless people or something with a completely fake statistic.

Homelessness is at an all time high here. It's really bad. They Spread from SLC to West Valley.

Prove it.

Stats say otherwise.

Even with the decrease in people that are considered chronically homeless, and with the PIT count showing a decrease in recent years, many Utahns feel that homelessness is becoming more visible. While the PIT count is the most consistent way to look at homelessness across the nation, many argue that the count does not truly represent the current homeless situation due to the challenge of counting people without fixed residences and who frequently change locations.

There is also an explanation for the 19.5% decrease in family homelessness. The Road Home – Utah’s largest homeless shelter – has been seeking to move people quickly out of homelessness, helping to rapidly rehouse and permanently house families. This is resulting in a decreasing PIT count. However, the Road Home is actually providing services to more families. They provided emergency shelter to 681 families in 2014 and 701 families in 2015, which is expected to climb higher in 2016. So while fewer families are being considered homeless at any one time, family homelessness seems to in fact be on the rise.

TFW even the coolest of your older relatives say racist bs. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only white person I know who is genuinely not racist.

At Thanksgiving my uncle, grandfather, and I were watching TV and this commercial with a black couple reading to their children came on, and my uncles goes, "If I see one more commercial with a black couple who's together in a house..."

And my grandfather turns to him and says, "It's a fable."

They continued on for that for I don't know how long cause I left the room and started drinking.
