That sounds made up. Maybe if you could provide evidence of an equivalent rise in homelessness. Even then, more homeless doesn’t mean more people are wandering into the street.
Which part sounds made up? The increase in number of people living on the street? The idea that people living on the street are often pedestrians? The idea that an increase in the number of pedestrians will correlate with an increase in the number of pedestrian deaths?
Here’s a surprisingly good analysis of the problem. They concluded increased homeless accounts for roughly 13% of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.
As I said elsewhere, this isn’t a single problem. It’s almost certainly a multitude of problems. A multitude that all contribute to the same result.
Another problem I pointed out in the very comment you replied to, is that our roads are almost intentionally designed to maximize the killing of pedestrians with motor vehicles.
