@needscats @CommunistsEgirl @acechhh calling unhoused pc is like called homeless pc cause we used to use indigent and vagrant more. We regularly use other terms for things from time to time, interesting no one is bothered as much as with unhoused.

@CommunistsEgirl @Bathilde777 @acechhh I don’t think anyone on the streets gives a shit what term you use to highlight anything, I think we agree that doing something to help is most important rather than splitting hairs over semantics.

@Bathilde777 @CommunistsEgirl @acechhh Not concerned with the origin, but there appears to be a significant increase of the word use several years ago. The whole politically correct train has derailed into whatever is happening today.

@MinutelyHipster @acechhh Agreed I’d like to get things moving toward a better place, but this change feels like thoughts and prayers.

@needscats @acechhh Yeah it does have that reading. "These people are not homeless i.e. lacking a home of their own failures. They are unhoused - lacking access to a house because of societal failures."
Even accepting the terminology is better, step 1 of getting people homes is not changing words.
