    “Dehomed” is almost more appropriate for many without a home. Their homes were taken by resource hoarders using the tools of state.

      “Dehomed” is such a better term than “homeless” or “unhoused”. First term I’ve heard that doesn’t put the blame on the person without a home.

      Even “unhoused” is too neutral of a term for how people often end up without secure shelter.

        Unhoused genuinely seems like a tip toe attempt to make saying homeless less ugly or like it’s a word to sidestep bs YouTube guidelines like unalive. It’s dumb. Not having a home sucks.

        If I were to pick between the two then “dehomed” explains it better than “unhoused”. But “homeless” definitely defines what it feels like when it happens to you.

        a comedian I just saw suggested the term nomad/nomadic as a much cooler and accurate replacement for all those terms. I like it.

          I think that one is only appropriate for those who choose to not have a fixed location home. Calling those who are just struggling to survive without a home nomads feels like it dismisses and even romanticizes their struggle.
