    Am I the only one who is a but skeptical whenever the link is a medium blog? It’d be nice if I didn’t have to trace down the source from a blog and it was from a trustworthy source.

    Especially since this medium blog is paywalled.

      Look at the author, not the domain. The same is true for mainstream news outlets.

      The NYT isn’t credible, but many of their authors are

        I would say looking at a specific source for the claims is way more efficient than researching the credibility of the author.

        Here it turns out, it is US govt statistics, which is rather credible on housing and homelessness statistics. However I have no clue about the general credibility of medium nor this specific author.
