It is another tragedy unfolding before our eyes. But it is also one that growing numbers are being forced to live. More Americans – who once owned or rented – are now living in their vehicles. Even before the COVID19 crisis began, with then then-booming economy, over 500,000 Americans were on the streets, in tents, or were otherwise living in …
