No its because homeless has a lot of stigma. Its more like the difference between killed themself and comitted suicide. Unalive only exists because for some reason that i cant explain everyone has to be overprotective so suicide is banned on a lot of social medias and even in some uk and us schools from what i heard. But booty shaking is okay for a child of course. And unrestricted access to phone. Your 5 year old doesnt need a phone.
I meant that the “weirdness” and “zoomerness” of the term I feel probably comes from the “unalive” thing. I’m not sure if changing the word does away with the stigma since the negative association and stigma is against the people and the situation. Not that I’m against people using the word.
They’re so concerned with looking good to their peers that they don’t notice unhoused is no better than homeless because the word homeless isn’t a problem in the first place.
I’ve got an idea about homelessness. Do you know what they ought to do? Change the name of it. It’s not “homelessness”, it’s “houselessness”. It’s houses these people need. A home is an abstract idea, a home is a setting, it’s a state of mind. These people need houses; physical, tangible structures. They need low-cost housing.
but unhoused reflects the fact that it is a societies duty to house its people, houseless like homeless leave it up to interpretation, whereas unhoused makes it more clear that this is a failing of the system not of individual people.
The “unhoused” term still seems so weird to me. It’s like a new zoomer word for homeless. I think it’s because of “unalive”.

“Houselessness” sounds a lot better imo than “unhoused”. Fits in better with the existing term.
