Hell I lived in some apartments in my twenties that made a good sized closet seem luxurious (Broke and Manhattan don't mix)

The question isn't whether the truly transient should be included the question is whether the other so called unconventional should.

We talk often of the need for multi-generational housing and yet in the same breath we label some of those people homeless.

Hard data on people that need assistance helps get a true picture of the problem and allows appropriate resources to hopefully flow in their direction. Including people with housing in the homeless statistics does no favors to anyone involved.
