    California now has nearly a quarter of the country's entire homeless population, despite comprising only 12% of the U.S. population.https://n.pr/2DxGWGt

        Well seattle has 12k homeless and it’s cold and wet, so maybe location is important but not for why you think. Big $ leads to inequality. Rent control now. #HousingFirst

        Help me understand if I'm wrong here, but isn't the primary problem that there's an insufficient supply of housing in these locations? If so, how would capping rents increase the supply of housing?

        A combination of getting benefits and really nice weather all year around will do that.

        Considering most of the state was on fire a few months ago, I can’t say I’m surprised.

        YES, we also need MORE people (Preferably m grunts because they're cheap) so property values run even higher! Then I can sell my place and move to a cheaper state with fewer stupid politicians.

        That would assume that high rents are the only cause of homelessness- when a great number nowadays seem to be homeless due to other causes...

        Rent control is not the answer building enough affordable housing is. There are many way to tackle this. Housing is complicated and going after laws and political means to get this accomplished.
