It would be interesting to see if the housing units and homeless people are in the same place. My money is that there would be enough to house everyone.

Can't find the chart now. But last census found lots of rural areas in fly-over states have surplus housing.

Like West Virginia had iirc something like 8-10% surplus. Not going to find many people willing to leave cities to move out to West Virginia or Northern Louisiana/Southern Arkansas. People leaving those places are why cities have housing shortages.
