If the story or picture isn't bad enough, one piece of info included in it makes Jacksonville's homeless problem seem a little less of an issue...

"There are at least 19,000 homeless people in Detroit, by some estimates. Put another way, more than 1 in 50 people here are homeless. "

From 2005:

QuoteThe 31-page census found that an estimated 18,360 adults and children in Duval and Clay counties experienced homelessness "at some point" in 2004.
