Yes. Specifically, an incident that'd normally result in a small protest or general hand-wringing will turn into a much larger deal. It'll wait until there's an incident that's vaguely connected to the eviction crisis, but it doesn't have to be a very good match. And the nature of the struggle will be influenced by the nature of the incident.
About a year ago someone murdered 3 homeless people in my city, and pretty much no one cared. If something like that happens in a few months after millions of people have just become newly homeless, I could see huge riots against whoever the perceived enemy is, maybe cops or landlords
So the inciting incident may vary but struggle is inevitable then?

Reasonable analysis imo

Then what will happen?
I dunno. I'm not a magical future-seeing owl. I'm just a regular old owl.
A single spark can light a prairie fire.
