    Cost of living in that time has gone up substantially nation wide. In my city (Albuquerque) there are easily twice as many people on the street today as 15 years ago. This report says it’s gone up %40 in just the last 2 years alone.

      Um, that’s a report on homelessness. The majority of pedestrians are not, in fact, homeless.

        Right, but majority or not, if homelessness more than doubles, the number of pedestrians will also increase. Will it not?

        Keep in mind there is no one single cause here. There are half a dozen major causes probably.

          I do see a link between those numbers. In fact, many homeless people live in their car.

            Indeed! And many of those trying to save gas money, like to semi-permanently park someplace, then walk to work and most places.
