Homelessness and rootlessness are developing on unprecedented scales globally

Evidence

A feature of displacement is our insertion into globalised cultural and information settings, which means that familiarity and place are much less consistently connected than hitherto. This is less a phenomenon of estrangement from the local than one of integration within globalised “communities” of shared experience. The boundaries of concealment and disclosure become altered, since many erstwhile quite distinct activities are juxtaposed in unitary public domains. — Anthony Giddens, The Consequences of Modernity, 341 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
