The headline in USA Today today was "1-400 Americans homeless" that's shocking.

Is that a lot? In a city of 8 million (say NYC) that would be 20000 homeless. An idealist might think that 1 is too many, but 750000 homeless in all of the United States doesn't sound that high
Using those numbers, that would be equivalent to 2500 homeless in Calgary - I don't know what the real numbers are for Calgary, but if you've ever been down to the Mustard Seed or the foodbank, I wouldn't be surprised if 2500 is on the low side for Calgary.
