I'm worried that the baby thinks people can't change.

      The ignorance around housing policy is unfortunate. It is actually not complicated: zoning vs. population determines the number of homeless, income distribution determines who they will be. Changing the latter will literally not change the number of homeless people at all.

      People seem to think tech companies produce homelessness because of income distribution, but that's false. It's the increase in population due to those companies bringing in more workers, and their city's corresponding failure to allow new construction, that causes homelessness.

      So if you want to fix homelessness, you have two choices: either literally prevent companies from hiring people, so the population doesn't grow, or stop single-family-housing zoning and allow very large apartment complexes to be built everywhere in your city.

      Pretending this a problem with income disparity literally helps nobody. It will never solve the problem, even if income disparity is a separate problem you'd like to solve for other reasons.

      And to the best of my knowledge, this is not something controversial. It's widely acknowledged among those who study this problem. Homelessness is a supply / demand problem, not a pricing problem, and if you keep pretending it's a pricing problem you will never solve it.

          Finally, cities can (and some finally are) actually fix this problem. Recently, for example: https://slate.com/business/2018/12/minneapolis-single-family-zoning-housing-racism.html …

          Again, coming from a city where we really did try to brute force this problem by simply introducing *enormous* amount of new housing, housing prices are still increasing by 10+% annually and homelessness and precarious housing have not decreased
