    Keep in mind that this is a Point-In-Time (PIT) count. As such, it is guaranteed to be an underestimate and only acts as a lower bound on the number of folks unhoused over time.

              Yes. This is still not really an elucidation (would that be the word?) on the point you’re trying to make, which I’m still trying to understand. I assume you mentioned musk because he’s part of Trumps incoming cabinet. That struck me as odd considering you’re commenting on an article describing something that has happened during the last year of Bidens’ tenure, which is why I asked what I asked. Your vague condescention doesn’t really do anything other than make you come off as a redditor fresh out of the echo chamber. Your weird reaction to being asked a question is quite ugly, is this the first time you’re engaging in conversation?

                  I don’t think I had a weird reaction. Your comments were equally vague

                  You mean my direct question to your vague statement? Pot and kettle buddy.

                  No need for ad hominem attacks.

                  An ad hominem is not “when I insult you” nor is it an attack, though I’m not surprised you perceive as such, considering how defensive you are. An ad hominem is a logical fallacy wherein the quality of an argument is tied to the quality of a person. I can call you a dumbass all I want without committing a logical fallacy - It’s just being rude.
                  If you’re gonna cry about fallacies, then learn what they are.
