Around when did homeless people become 'un-housed' people?

 At some point, can we stop worrying about insulting people with over-simplifield obnoxious new words and just say what we've always said? Take this headline for example...
 
 
According to this report from back in July, the use of the term 'unhoused' has grown exponentially in the last few years, and those who have adopted it say it 'emphasizes a lack of affordable housing'. My question is, are the homeless now a symbol for something or are they just people with no place to call 'home' in the traditional sense? Might be because a lot of them are junkies and criminals, don'tcha think? 
Sure a lot of people fall on hard times, there is no doubt about it, but if that really is the case, why the fuck are we feeding and housing literallly millions of  illegals before all of these truely homeless folks? I am not asking for a friend - I wanna know for myself...

  1. Democrats solve problems by creating new names for the problems so the problems with the old names no longer exist.
    Don't forget. This is not done for normal human beings, beings like "I think, therefore I am".
    Nope.
    This is done for their voters: "I vote for democrats so that I don't have to think".

  2. Let's get it straight: the homeless are homeless because they choose to be, or are so crazy that they no longer recognize that they have a choice. I am ashamed that we cannot care for the crazies but we cannot do so without their consent, unless they pose a demonstrated danger to -others-. The others do not want the restrictions required within the confines of society and choose to live 'under a bridge' et al instead, especially when they can get money from the government.

  3. I guess the word "vagrant" is now considered perjorative...

  4. I think the new verbiage fad started when it was determined (by some unknown person or entity) that "colored person" was taboo, but "person of color" was quite acceptable.
