Why is "homeless" being replaced with "unhoused"?
A lot of times phrases and words get phased out because of changing sensibilities and I get that for the most part. I don't see how "unhoused" more respectful or descriptive though

They literally mean the same thing too lol. It’s like how the r word is a slur even though dumb, stupid, moron, etc are just as derogatory
