How do you support your feelings? without facts?

Number of homeless drops by almost 9 percent in Florida

About 28,300 people in Florida experienced homelessness on a single night in 2019, down 8.7 percent from the previous year, says a Dec. 20 report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The decline extends a trend that has seen homelessness across the state fall by 40 percent since 2013.

Here are some facts for you. Why this is so hard to understand I will never know.

When I first bought my house in South Tampa in 2008, there were exactly ZERO homeless people loitering around my local Publix, CVS, Sam's Club and other local destinations. ZERO. NONE. ZILCHO. NADA. NIENTE. NEGATIVE. There were exactly ZERO camps of homeless living in tents in South Tampa. There were exactly ZERO homeless people sleeping on cardboard outside the Panera and Starbucks on Kennedy and Westshore boulevards. Now there are several large encampments. Now every morning when I walk my dog, I have to intentionally avoid three homeless men living outside Panera and Starbucks who like to make weird noises at my dog.

Now, today, in 2020, you can't go to any of these stores without encountering a homeless person.

Those are all the facts I need to come to the conclusion that homelessness has increased in South Tampa.

Do you need some more facts?

Here you go:

“Cardboard is our best friend,” said a homeless man named Roger who spent the past several months sleeping on the streets of South Tampa.

Sinatras doesn't see the hypocrisy in her posts, "when facts backup my feelings, government is honest... when facts don't backup my feelings, government is lying."

What exactly does the homeless issue have to do with infrastructure in a state btw?

The OP said, “ Most places in FL are very well kept, sure there are some ghettos but that exists everywhere. Perhaps FL allocates most of its money to infrastructure?”

Being well-kept encapsulates many things related to streets, parks, etc where homelessness plays a large role.

The statement was "you believe the numbers of homeless are on the rise in Florida", your link didn't address the numbers however Corrie22 link did.

Feeling vs numbers = subjectivity vs objectivity

Reality is a beach

The next time a homeless person takes a dump on my neighbor's front yard (as happened in October), I will remember, "The data show the homeless rate is in decline."

The next time a homeless person tries to kick my dog at Panera (as happened in December), I will remember, "The data show the homeless rate is in decline."

The next time a homeless person sets up a tent next to Yogurtology (as is the case currently), I will remember, "The data show the homeless rate is in decline."

The next time a homeless person exposes his penis behind Chick-Fil-A (as happened in November to a neighbor on Next Door and was reported to police), I will remember, "The data show the homeless rate is in decline."

The next time a homeless man and his crap block my access to the shopping carts at Publix (as happened on Saturday evening), I will remember, "The data show the homeless rate is in decline."

The data scientists have zero credibility.
