3. Already happened. Remember Bill and Hill never owned a house until after 2000.

5. I don't think you really understand what homelessness is

[Hippo_Tron]

4. A single homeless person, probably not

Collectively featuring "The homeless" as Time's Person of the Year would be an interesting pitch, however.

6. maybe a homeless person who has become an activist for the cause

[Hippo_Tron]

7. They would have to be a very successful activist

At which point they probably wouldn't be homeless anymore. It's very hard to do something that merits getting Time's person of the year. It's basically impossible to do it when you have to spend most of your time struggling to survive.

9. Maybe if people living on the street grew to one out of ten Americans or some really scary

Percent of the population. That would be very very bad
