Seems ridiculous, but as far as I can tell it’s true.
Brought this to mind from 2023
”n a recent press conference, Mayor Eric Adams laid out a plan which involves involuntary hospitalization. ERIC ADAMS: If severe mental illness is causing someone to be unsheltered and a danger to themselves, we have a moral obligation to help them get the treatment and care they need.”
NYC's mayor faces backlash for planning to involuntarily hospitalize homeless people
Seems ridiculous, but as far as I can tell it’s true.
The arithmetic seems to check out. Incidentally how would you compute this on your scratch pad
In a city of more than 8.3 million people, nearly one in every 83 New Yorkers is homeless
Tell me if there’s a better way.
8,300,000/83= about 100000
100000/10 000 000 , cross out zeros = 1/100

If it’s 1/83 people are homeless in New York, that’s the whole equation. 1/83 = 1.2%. 8,300,000/83 is 100,000 (1.2% of 8,300,000) homeless people in New York if those numbers are correct.

I did exactly what you did looks like. I determined what 1% of 8,300,000 is (100,000) if you round it to 10 M.
why does it look like I did extra checks.
