Gentrification or housing rights: what will prevail?

Across the entire U.S., housing has become one of the most pressing issues for city dwellers. Rent and inflation have skyrocketed, and tens of thousands of people have been pushed out of their homes. Since the 1980s, urban centers, such as Los Angeles and New York City have simultaneously experienced housing crises, accompanied by an explosion in homelessness. Although the United States has always had an unhoused population, the number of people and the face of those people have changed drastically in recent years. Today, our housing crisis has made renting unaffordable, left extremely limited options, and pushed so many out of their communities. Homelessness is our modern day crisis.
