I mean to be fair, maybe 10 years ago it was just get hassled and have your bike stolen. Since Covid, unhoused population as a people group, not individually in Eugene has gotten noticeably more violent, likely because of just how many more there are but still
I see you opted for the politically correct term “unhoused” rather than “homeless”. Are you just following a social rule, or do you have some sense of why homeless is supposed to be a derogatory term?
Not really? I wasn’t sure why the “new rule” was to avoid using the word ‘homeless’, so I was to asking someone that had made the switch what the rationale is.
