King County’s median income in 2017 was ~$90k, while the federal poverty line was ~$12k for one person and ~$24k for a family of four. If your target here is the putative connection between poverty and homelessness, you might want to clear on what ‘poverty’ means.
More ignorance and denial from @timeshomeless. More than 1 million people in King County live below the median income, but less than 1% are on the streets. Poverty is a necessary but not sufficient condition. Get smarter.https://twitter.com/timeshomeless/status/1107634009897664514 …

Further, your allegation that the Times’ report took poverty to be anything like a sufficient condition for homelessness is false. Rather, the Times quite clearly took poverty to be an empirically common factor in homelessness, but neither necessary nor sufficient.

The data is clear: only 6% of King County's homeless cite "rent increases" as the precipitating cause of becoming homeless.

You are such a ridiculous person. Your: platform is heartless, analysis is bad faith, math comprehension could use some work. Half of anything is below the median, that’s what “median” means. Besides, income inequality and homelessness are not just linked, they are the same.
