Also, the particular community college in the story is exactly a 15 minute drive away from this site where Cupertino will try to block 1,200 below-market-rate homes at below 80% area median income tomorrow night.https://twitter.com/scott_wiener/status/1139605202997133312?s=21 …

I find this stat puzzling... According to https://www.usich.gov/homelessness-statistics/ca/ … there are 130,000 total homeless on any given day in the state. Is there be so much churn in that number that there can be 400k students in one year?

I'm curious about this too. The SF Homeless Census statistics imply a similar trend. Specifically the city is effective at getting people off the streets but has a stable/persistent homeless population
