Still trying to figure out just what the point of this graph is. Is it saying that...wow!..we should just stick all of the homeless people in other people's empty houses, and solve two problems at once? Maybe while we're at it, we can put all of the jobless people in some of the many businesses that are sitting empty, and solve both of those problems too.
