This makes me so angry that I have to decompress by giving away food to the unhomed in Bullhead City Arizona.
"Dehomed" is almost more appropriate for many without a home. Their homes were taken by resource hoarders using the tools of state.
"Dehomed" is such a better term than "homeless" or "unhoused". First term I've heard that doesn't put the blame on the person without a home.
Even "unhoused" is too neutral of a term for how people often end up without secure shelter.
a comedian I just saw suggested the term nomad/nomadic as a much cooler and accurate replacement for all those terms. I like it.
I think that one is only appropriate for those who choose to not have a fixed location home. Calling those who are just struggling to survive without a home nomads feels like it dismisses and even romanticizes their struggle.
