Lamenting tent cities is "old man yelling at cloud" to you? I agree with his points. The Life of an average person is objectively much worse than it was 20-30 years ago. A person with great discipline can have a better life than ever, but it is hard not to feel empathy for the masses, so addicted to fake internet shit that they cannot even distinguish reality.

the rate of homelessness is actually falling slowly in the US, although the absolute number is slowly growing with the overall population. the visibility of homeless people has grown a lot in certain places though, which I think is the real complaint if we're being honest.
Tent cities are a product of a broken society in the US, not a global worldwide phenomenon.
