Unrelated: when I looked into it earlier this week, it seemed like in New York City mid-2021 to mid-2022, on any given night about 60,000 people were sleeping in homeless shelters and about 3,000 people were sleeping rough. 640 homeless people were thought to have died during that year. Seventeen of those deaths were of exposure.
I’ve been in live contact with how horrible it would be, to die like that, the last few days, and plenty of people who don’t actually die just suffer a lot. But I’m also a little proud of humankind in general and New York City 2022 in particular, for making this horrible thing happen less than it otherwise would.
