The count is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and its results can be used alongside other factors to determine funding. But those estimates have often not been accurate, some experts told ABC News.

Back when I was helping my ex do advocacy work for the homeless 25 years ago, we were tasked by the county to do a homeless count in Modesto, along with 4-5 other agencies over a period of 3 days. After the count was over, we found there were more than a dozen instances where each agency counted the same individual in different parts of Modesto. There's no telling how many people were counted multiple times with false names, even though they were asked if they had already been counted.
Our conclusion? Because it's damned near impossible to do a count on an extremely transient population, the best we could do was a rough estimate and we came to find out later we weren't even close.
If an ear was removed after counting, they could be identified and not counted numerous times.

Great idea Anon. I was gonna recommend a dick, but Trannies aside there'd be a problem counting the real women. However, since there are more homeless men than women there is a logical answer. After totaling up the amputated dicks go out and stick one dick in one real woman. Then count the left overs for the grand total.

DeleteThis post is timely. Newsmax had a segment where an Atlanta city official admitted that they gave non-refundable bus tickets to LA to homeless and illegals. The selling point was California was giving out cash cards.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have a homeless problem. We also do not have a housing problem, because if we did, would our benevolent government bring in five million illegals?
