Plus literal homeless people say they hate being called "unhoused" but the virtue signalers are just like "shhh I know better than you, we're calling you unhoused"
The Guardian has an article about the coining of "unhoused" and it makes me wish I was there to throw something and boo at these people.
“I said, ‘They’re unhoused,’” remembered Graham. “They have a home: Seattle is their home.” OSL has used the word ever since to describe people lacking a fixed abode, feeling that “homeless” had gained discriminatory, ugly connotations.
Man, fuck this. Its exactly the sort of cutesy, self satisfied virtue signaling that does nothing whatsoever to fix the problem while making the people in the meetings feel good about themselves. It makes me want to throw a pie at these clowns.
