14. I only have Puget Sound as an observation point.

You’re probably correct, but we’ve always had homeless as far as I can tell. In most respects we’ve been the end of the line, there’s really nowhere else to go. Not too long ago forested areas and urban regions where not too far apart. Creating a rough shelter was kind of possible, with suburban sprawl and growth, heavy forest for the homeless to hide in has disappeared close to the communities. The demographics of the homeless seems to have returned to the 1930’s though. At that time the area just south of Seattle had a large collection of shacks refered to as Hooverville. Apart from the more durable nature of the structures, little difference.

It’s particularly bad here at the moment due to the meteoric rise in housing costs.
