I will never forget what a ~55 year old anonymous commenter (I think from HN?) said once (paraphrasing): "for some of us who worked professionally through the PC and Internet revolutions, the changes have never felt that significant." Her/His point was that large shifts can go unrecognized if change happens gradually enough. Nothing more needs to be said about what homelessness on an American college campus means now or what it portends for our economic future. So, I'll just give one anecdote...<p>My girlfriend and I flew into SF last spring and our first Uber driver was an undergrad student who is attending community college in Santa Rosa. Asked him how often he would come to SF to drive for Uber, and he said he drives down each week for 3-4 days and just sleeps in his car. He said this as if it was normal, typical, acceptable, etc.
