Homeless Chatter

 There was an interesting news piece off RBB (Berlin public TV) this AM....relating to homelessness.

So the topic.....for those who didn't know....the number of homeless people in Germany is assed to be around 860,000 (minimum).  Roughly, one-percent of German society.

I should note, this is 2016 numbers and some people suggest the current number is one-million-plus.

So there is this general discussion topic....writing a paragraph into the Basic Law (the Constitution) to say housing must be provided.  Going anywhere?  No.  I don't think the general political climate can explain the cost factor or how the government would find a housing solution.  

All of this leading to an urbanization problem?  I've traveled a good bit around Germany in the past decade, and would readily suggest that the vast number of homeless in the country.....are in cities of more than 250,000.  If you go into towns of 10,000 or less....you don't see the problem.  

Odds of the issue escalating?  Oh, I could see two million being homeless by 2030.
