The USA has 350,000 churches. The USA has 746,650 homeless people. That means, if every Christian congregation in the USA chose to house and care for just TWO people each, the homelessness crisis in the USA would be solved. The USA doesn't have a homelessness crisis; it has an empathy crisis. #USA

This sort of fall takes house prices back to where they were only a few years ago, when the headlines were about the insane unaffordability. It's the more expensive homes (already over inflated) which are experiencing a drop - the lower end of the market has barely moved.
