Re: Homelessness

This article talks of 670,000 homeless and 50,000 living on the streets in Germany, and quotes a homelessness organisation.

This article here (by shelter) talks of 309,000 homeless in England, with 3,000 on the streets.

Now Germany's population is bigger than Englands, but not ten times bigger.

I don't trust these articles either btw, but they contradict the FT report, and it goes to show how what statistics they select is critical.

On a local level (in and around Cardiff) I've never understood that when Cardiff (appx 10 years ago) became more of a magnet for many homeless people, that the growing number of empty city centre buildings and units could not be adapted together with skeleton staff to administer them? Rather than hear of a young lady (just one example) freezing to death in a small tent in the castle area during the winter :shrug:

This situation seems crazy when secure and frost free places were lying empty within a few hundred meters?
