Arguably once a good percentage of people become unhoused, we are no longer living in a fair society. IT SHOULD break down into violence. But then so say "Crime goes up significantly". What crime? There is no society where a crime can be defined.

A society always exists, even in a total dissolution of the previously-existing social order (which we are not truly contemplating here).

Yes we are not contemplating that but the article was.
