One takeaway might be that States like Mississippi could do a heck of a lot to get their homeless into some kind of residence.
That might be fair.
I think that while California and New York have relatively lower rates of vacant houses for homelessness, that probably doesn't mean that those States do a better job of housing people. It might just mean that those States are really bad about building new homes. I'm curious to see how much new construction is happening in New York, California and Massachusetts, for example. Homeless people in those States might intuitively go elsewhere.
