How many Americans live on the street or worse?

they wont tell you, they are afraid you will get worried\n\nnah, im just joking with you - nobody knows, being on the streets they are not registered. some fall thru the cracks but many do not want to be found\n\naccording to government statistics, there are only a handful of local homeless in chester and each major city in uk but when you visit soup kitchens and hostels there are far more than that

According to an article from 2003, 5,000 people spend their days and nights on the streets of San Francisco.\n\nA more recent article (March, 2005) puts the figure at more than 6,200

In the U.S....\n\nMath involves thinking, critical thinking, and most americans are lazy and hate to think.

yea ... unfortunately its led the americans to understimate the world outside .. their opinion is further clouded by an insatiable materialistic pursuit... they constitute 5% of the worlds population and consume 45% of the worlds natural resources ... \n\nthey fail to realise that people have different satifaction levels.. for example i live in india... just cause my country isnt fully developed it doesnt mean that we aren happy...  it would broaden the perspective of americans if they stopped lookin at negatives of other communities and recognisin positives.

My latest estimate was 27% mostly in urban areas.\n\nSince most of the US population is made up of peasant farmers and serfs working for the Bush or Cheney families.\n\nIt's no suprise there are still many in rural America without running water or electricity.

Oh man let me tell you.....where YOU live, may be a certain amount of ethnic originated people....but, where I live?.....mostly caucasion, as I am, and they can't drive either....I live in the country....work one night a week...on a deserted country road, two lane, people will ride with their brights on, click them off, only, when they have reached my vehicle, and have blinded the hell out of me....NO ONE HERE where I live in the bible belt America, know how to turn their turn signal light on BEFORE they are gonna turn, they slam their brakes and then turn the turn signal on, IF they turn it on at all!!!!!! I live in White America, Southern region America, and they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO F%^$# DRIVE, to be at the very least!!!! Courteous to the other driver!!!  Everyone is in such a big rush to get wherever they need to go, with no regard to the other people on the road....I AM PREJIDUCE, AGAINST "STUPID" people, I don't care what they are, if they are a holes, they are a holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes people who live in mansions and have limos with drivers tend to be very active, while people who live in housing projects who have to risk their lives just to get to the bus stop tend to be less politcally active and worry more about simply surviving.

I think life in the USA can suck.  There are many undesirable places and people in the U.S. and if you have to deal with those things on a daily basis, that can suck.  Also, if you don't have any money in the U.S, that sucks too.  Things aren't cheap here in the U.S. either, especially housing, and so if you have problems making ends meet, that can suck too...  Although it is the U.S., but if you are poor, your standard and quality of living would be low.  There are also many problems in the U.S. now, such as many people doing drugs, prostitution, random shootings and so forth.  Those things sucks.  I think life in the U.S. can suck if you have to deal with all those undesirable things, situations and places and you don't have much money yourself.  That's just what I think.  You can't say that life doesn't suck if you have to live in a ghetto in the U.S.A or lead a ghetto life in the U.S.A. although it is the U.S.A.

I don't know if it's statistically worse than before - it's just publicized more.  I still believe in random acts of kindness; I realize that going 60 in a residential neighborhood is only going to save me 30 seconds; I smile when people pass me by.  Some would think it makes me naive - I think it makes less jaded.  : )

by 2005 the number released by official statistics is 1307,560,000, among of which 43% in cities and the rest in the country. I think the actrual number will be larger than the statistics.

I think there are something like 60 murders per day in America.  Is anyone saying we should pull out of here?\n\nAnd to all those that are saying "We DO count them", I think what the questioner is referring to is the constant total on the news each night.  I think we all know war stinks and people dying stinks and we probably all respect the fallen soldiers and their families.  The thing that gets tiresome is the constant reporting of the negative news from the war designed to inflame the "peace-at-all-costs" people by saying "I told you so" and the lack of reporting on the positive effects our servicemen are having in Iraq.\n\nWhile we DO count those that die in DUI's, it's not front-page news.
