| A California residential neighborhood where homes cost $900k (implied by '00k') is now overrun with homeless tents. | rejected | https://gist.github.com/johntday/ee4c597f15feab3636ac46f26e006dbf | The statement that California residential neighborhoods where homes cost $900k are now overrun with homeless tents, and that neighborhood kids can’t even ride their bikes outside anymore, is not strongly supported by the available sources. The key claim about $900k neighborhoods being overrun by homeless tents is marked 'inconclusive' in two sources, and the only 'rejected' source merely establishes the California median home price, not the state of homelessness in such neighborhoods. The claim about kids being unable to ride bikes due to homeless tents is rejected in two unrelated contexts—one about general urban safety and the other about parental attitudes—but neither provides direct evidence about the impact of homelessness. No concrete evidence or credible reporting directly backs the dramatic claims made in the statement. |

It’ll likely cost you over $900,000. The statewide median sales price for a previously owned single-family house surpassed $900,000 for the first time in April, a shocking figure that underscores just how unaffordable housing has become across the Golden State. |

🤖 Conclusion [20/100]: The claim that California residential neighborhoods where homes cost around $900k are now overrun with homeless tents, to the degree that children can't even ride their bikes outside, is largely unsupported by available evidence. While there are isolated reports in some California areas where homeless encampments make parents feel unsafe allowing their children to play or bike outdoors, there is no credible or widespread evidence that typical $900k residential neighborhoods are now overrun in this way. Most high-value neighborhoods remain relatively unaffected in terms of visible street homelessness, according to local reporting and neighborhood profiles. The sources presented verify limited local impact in some neighborhoods, particularly in Sacramento, but this does not rise to the dramatic statewide pattern implied by the statement, nor does it specifically confirm it for $900k neighborhoods. Thus, the claim is exaggerated and misleading.
